Martin MacGregor is excellent at all accept at getting back and quoting a
firm price. Martin will do excellent work, but I doubt he will be able to
give you an exact price. I am not surprised that the Moss and Vicky B kits
are off colour as they are production run and not specifically slanted to
your particular year. You might want to consider looking at AH Spares for
their selection. Once again, I remind you that the kits supplied might be
production and not year specific.
Now, having said all that, I ask that you review your requirement. To the
best of my knowledge and I am not taken back by being corrected, there were
no special yearly variations. Is it possible that your car has either been
recovered once or came from an 'odd' dye lot. Is it also possible that the
colour may have changed over the years? As a final comment, if price does
not matter, anybody can do it!!!
Regards,
Martyn
PS: Bought my green interior from AH Spares, can't tell if its perfect to
original, there was nothing for me to go by!
