Reply to "Mangusta on Chasing Classic Cars- Find the Errors!"

I'm amazed at the low rate of survival for original Mangusta headliners and related trim pieces - - maybe shriveled when subjected to US summer heat??!  The only oem headliner bit on my car was the trim frame, here are a few photos with dimensions noted.  All four sides are bowed to fit the roof structure.  The front section (which has a generous bow) was welded-in slightly 'twisted' so that the finished frame bulges to the front in the middle.  Hopefully pics are better than words here.

Strange thing about 1010's frame was that the leather was definitely tan but spray-dyed black.  Both leather & workmanship sure LOOK original.  I had thought frames were 'normally' black from the factory.  So either that's not true OR ....spray dye might have been a quick 'problem solver' at carrozzeria Ghia?

Lee, glad you mentioned leather being used for the surrounding roof area trim. 1010 was covered in vinyl by the time I took ownership...wasn't sure that was incorrect until I saw your comments and I tried to think about things logically
