It's a while since I posted here but I wonder if I can ask anybody who's retrimmed a saloon or better still, have an original interior, for a bit of guidance?
I am about to put new chestnut brown wilton carpet into my AM75 saloon and need to bind the carpet edges. Given my car is an early 30s model, I think the works carpets would have been leather bound, to match the seats but I could be wrong. I think, by the late 30s and into the 50s and 60s trimmers were using cotton herringbone tape but was it used earlier than that?
Please can anyone with a 1930 to 1935 Talbot saloon let me know what carpet binding your car has and any comments you think will help.
Thank you!
