Hey Guys: Don't forget the walnut veneer was under the rexine and many people (me included) just gave it a coat of varnish when the rexine got to ratty to bear. Since the panel was generally supposed to be Black on Wood and tan on Rexine, accepted as original type. But many combinations and variations are in existance. Just look at any MG car show. I have even seen several which did not have piping around the dash. I don't think it affects the driving pleasure one jot. . . Sally

Dear Sally & Group, When the factory changed from a walnut veneer facia panel to a fabric covered facia panel they used 1/2" baltic birch plywood. Baltic birch plywood is a very high grade of plywood with all birch plys. There was no walnut veneer on it. Basically the walnut veneer was replaced with a piece of rexine or "fabric". Black instrument panels came on both walnut veneer facia panels & fabric covered facia panels. Tan instrument panels came on fabric covered facia panels only as indicated by the post from Fred Kuntz a few days ago. Craig Seabrook Whitworth Shop TC/0911 Sally Carroll wrote:
