I had to look up this ochre color as I think that's what I have, kind of
a tannish type color. Its ochre or something similar though. It
complements the black tulip on my 72B quite well. And although the seats
can still get hot in the summer when the sun shines on them, they are
still not anywhere as hot as the black ones would get (I always had to
cover the seat bottom with a towel on my previous B). The interior came
with the car and was in good shape but I had the car totally repainted
from its previous orange color.

Hey! I like my ochre!!! ;-)
Well, I'd like it better if it didn't look so worn and stained... I
guess one advantage of black is that it doesn't stain. Black's OK in a
roadster, maybe, but I'm happier having a lighter shade in an enclosed
car.
What I've never worked out is why I have vinyl front seats and velour
back seats. My '73 GT should be velour throughout, and Sammy MkI was.
Either a PO has replaced the seats with ones from a roadster, or
re-covered them in vinyl, sticking to ochre but with the wrong material,
or the factory was running short of velour seats on the day Sammy was
built...
