With regard to the Van Vooren body, we should like this to resemble Sleator's Trials Car as far as possible, as this has proved so satisfactory. This is a dark brown car, but has biscuit coloured upholstery. We should like a similar exterior colouring, but the upholstery to be in dark brown leather and the trimmings of a suitable dark shade to avoid showing up.
