I agree, the carpets look great and seriously loving the white on white steering wheel and column :)

 

The steering wheel is one of my favourite elements of the car  =]

So, rather than sitting with my varsity, I did some extra on the car for the day. I made up brackets that hold on pieces of perspex to improve the air stream onto the windscreen from the heater. The interior now looks like this :

As always, a work in progress. Opinion will be divided, but hey, can't please everyone.

I think you should round the edges of those perspex windows. Then it'll look like the glass used on old MG TCs. 

Then you would just need a heads up display ;)

I was thinking that as well. When they come out again I'll be rounding them off. A head's up would be cool  :D

After not having washed the car since last year (lucky she stays in a garage), I decided today was the day to do it. I purchased various Meguiars products, including the clay bar kit, swirl remover and wax. I'm suitably impressed with the clay bar, it really did give the paintwork a smooth finish. Anyhow, here are the results :

The level of depth is amazing :
