A lot of them are plastic wood. If you have veneer (burr walnut etc) it will be thin veneer on lazer cut fibre board, not ply or box wood (unless custom made by hand afterwards) as this would warp because of the thinness.

I can only speak for my car, it is trimmed in wood and when i say wood i mean wood NOT plastic. I have had them all off to remove the dash for blend motors and refurb of heater box. They are veneer on a wood base i can assure you.

Same on mine. The only thing i've not checked are the door inserts but pretty sure these are the same.

+2 all mine have been veneered wood....the top laquered coating is VERY thick giving it a plastic appearence.
My 3 P38's were a 1995 4.6 HSE, 1997 4.6 HSE and a 1999 2.5 DSE.

Fine wet & dry paper (used wet), t-cut, then polish.

Doesn't anyone else not like the wood in P38s? I think it really dates the interior.

Its not a moden car so why would your want a modern interior?
The wood is typical of what was classed as high quality of the time

Whats worse is when you see someone has covered the wood in some dodgy 'fablon' or even worse, spray painted it.

I guess you're right, I've had it in cars in the past and never been that keen. Some of the wood looks good in the L322 though, reminds me of a Riva boat

Some of the orange wood in L322's reminds me of the dodgy 'Veneers' i keep seeing in Chinese factories when i'm on visits to FE.
