As I mentioned in an earlier post, this Gordini was optioned by the original owner John Sever with chrome gutter trims and a glove box lid. The chrome gutter trims survived on the car however the glove box lid was removed some time ago, probably as most other Gordini's didn't have one. My search of many months to obtain a lid came to an end yesterday when Aussie Frogger, Anthony, from South Australia came up with the goods and gave me a lid. The lid was sun damaged and looked its 45 years of age but was otherwise in good condition. I was going to clean it up and paint it to look the same as the original surround however when I hit it with some fine wet and dry it came up like new removing all the grey fade. I had some hinges on an old chrome surround which I cleaned up and painted and now the lid is fitted and looks great. Thanks Anthony.
The glove box lid completes the original options to the Gordini.
