I agree with Kees. All the wood-framed cars I have seen from the UK used
ash. This would likely be the European ash, (Fraxinus excelsior), not any
of the several North American ashes. That said, when I replaced the wood
packing strips beneath the seat runners they turned out to be European Beech
(Fagus sylvatica).
Now lets see if the concours committee starts studying wood grains so they
can get this right!
These woods should be available at speciality wood suppliers in your area,
should you wish to go the whole 9 yards with the replacement.
