Interior
Air Mod, completed 7/21, $42,000
Leather everywhere except vinyl on glareshield. A somewhat darker leather,
perforated, is used on the seat and seat-back inserts. Same darker leather on
steering arm and yokes. Dennis made his contoured headrests. All trim pieces and
seals were replaced or renewed. It smells like a Bentley.
