If they're in good order Doug, I'd also recommend the front seats. Remember they're slightly different to HL in HLS!

If it does, and providing you can even get close to it (they look pretty inaccessible in the brambles) I require the early fuse box cover set-up. My HLS didn't come with the original dash, so I either need the whole thing, or just the black insert and trim to retrofit a later dash like you've done.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

Grey and blue? Sure it's not faded Prussian/Ice? Seems a weird combo to me!Sam Skelton

Could see the dash Rich but it looks like a blue tint

You will need the trim on the dash which is the black box section, cover, steering column plate including rubber, metal brackets bolted on the under part of the dash, stainless metal strip, cardboard strip.
As you know early dashes are a bit more complicated to remove as the steering column has to come out and be disconnected.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

That blue interior is early VP Jeff. Either it's the wrong pic or someone's done a full interior transplant on it and binned the rare HLS bits! :-(Sam Skelton

It does look like early VP interior. The shape of the front seats is the same as MG.
HLS had the same seats as HL but in complete fabric, rather than vinyl sides and backing that the early HL seats had.1985 Austin Montego 2.0HLS x 2

The blue VP has grey box velvet with blue from the looks of it, the gold VP has grey box velvet with brown and the red VP has caramel leather with brown.
If you look at the door cards on the HLS you maybe right with the interior change unless the wood caps where available on the HLS?Last edited by Jeff Turbo; 24th December 2013, 05:42.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

Glad you found it Jeff, hope you have more luck in making contact with the guy! Seems a shame that such an apparent enthusiast for the marque would leave them to dissolve to dust but like I say he seems to think its a better way of making cash than filling in a lottery slip!
