Mine is pretty damn late-4063! I took off the sail vinyl as it was ripped and curled at the edges and wouldn't stay glued.

We should come up with a term for this Later than Late Targa vinyl texture. ALL 914 peculiarities/distinguishments have a term. Hell Hole. Silver dot. BRB's. Grasshopper. Hot Dog muffler. Steelies. How about:
"Elephant Hide" "Rough Nauga" "Dry Lake Bed" |

Yes, looks like what was on my Nov 75 production car. Was pretty weatherbeaten when I replaced it with a sail panel kit. I noticed the slight difference when I installed it, didn’t think much about it.
As far as the targa vinyl goes, I don’t think it had the same grain, but I’d have to look at it to be sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

QUOTE(Bleyseng @ Jun 1 2019, 09:18 AM) Does anyone know of a source for it? In the vintage Land Rover world, we call that texture of vinyl "elephant hide". I have an extra used driver's side piece. See the classifieds if interested.  |
