Classic 1982 RRC 4-Door Rear Window Winder and Interior Questions

Hi there,

here I am, back again at my restoration project! The old lady is running just fine again, even more important, she is completey rust free! Well, she was last summer, now there is the one or other spot again, most worriesome two spots at the right hand rear door...

That being said, the next steps are the interior and a second battery. And for the interior, I have two questions:

- How do I find out which colour the original carpet set was supposed to have? Brown or beige? I could always settle for some of the shelf black carpets, but, you know...

- The old lady has electric windows fitted, after market ones. And I somehow messed up the rear ones... Do you have any idea where I can find a set of manual ones for the rear doors? So far I had no luck with the usual suspects online, and no one seems to be breaking up any RRCs in a reasonable distance... If someone has a surplus set lying around, I wouldn't say no!

Stay safe out there, everyone!

Greetings,

Florian

I think the part numbers are MTC8906 & MTC8907. Presumably they're handed so you need one of each. Have a quick look at pics online to see if they look like yours.

If they do, then according to Rimmers the Disco 1 used the same ones.

Depends on the car's exterior colour & model year.

That's a 182 in Sahara Dust, no idea about the original interior... Trim looks beige (plastic) and kind of brownish (carpets)? Gonna take some pictures later today, so!

Thanks a lot! This really helped!
It seems mine has the Palomino trim option, based on the elements that are still there. You wouldn't know someone in the UK who sells these carpets by any chance? This beige stuff tends to be quite expensive in Germany, all I found so far that is almost identical comes from Porsche and Mercedes catalogues...

You could try someone like these for material but the original items are going to be by part number search of the usual suspects to see what they've got or ebay:
https://www.martrim.co.uk/ (I've had headlining material & glue from them for mine & very good they were too)

Thanks for the tip, will certainly give it a look. Exmoor has the carpets for the two door available online, 570£ for a full set is even reasonably priced, kind of.

Sound deadening arrived this week, will be fitted over the weekend, hopefully! Wil get in touch with the guys you share, Ratae, next week.
