<VV> Saddle Interiors/Colored Dashes

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

Ah! I thought the one in the brochure had the chrome rims around the inset 
parts round the instruments and glove box.

However, as the brochure is under a lot of other things and I haven't seen 
it for about a year, I can't be certain...

Cheers

Alan
