blue mk1 beta cloth

[Ray]

hi Guys, im looking for dark blue mk1 escort beta cloth, either new on the roll or used covers if the beta is ok, for both front and rear, even if you dont have enough to do a full set, im still interested, as i think finding enough in one place to do a set will be impossible, anyone got anything stored in their lofts or garages

needs to be mk1 beta, not mk2

thanks

Bow to your better 'resto' knowledge but didn't know Blue Beta cloth was a thing ! I thought Beta only used with mk2 RS models and then only Beige, Brown and Black? I've seen blue cloth used in mk1's but didn't think it was Beta?

Definitely beta cloth in mk1 AVO cars but I've never seen any in blue. Then or now.

it exists, all 1300Es had beta cloth and in many colours, charcoal, blue, tan, orange (forget its proper name tbh) etc, and i believe it was an option on XL models  as well

my original E back in the day had blue beta, and there are a few still in existence with blue today, as well as the other colours

but mk1 beta is a slightly different pattern to mk2 beta

this is the 1300E series 1 colour and trim guide, bear in mind series 1 cars only came in the 3 colours

then series 2 bought the other colours

I never knew other colours existed either. I love learning new things on here! Tan and Blue they look absolutely stunning! Blue is a terrific choice if you lived here as all the original black stuff turned blue as it faded in the sun! Original Blue looks much nicer.
