1959 de-luxe Austins had this style of heel mat.	De-luxe cars had a full length rubber boot mat. Basic cars did without a mat.


Nearly all 59’s used a door rubber and cloth seal which in the parts list was named “Grey fleck”, and was a kind of imitation cloth made in vinyl with glued on rubber. Very rare now and seldom seen. But very early cars and the last Austin de-luxe’s had a real cloth-covered door rubber seal in different colours. Also rare, but probably the same was used on Riley Elfs and Wolseley Hornets	An alloy door seal strip was fitted to all de-luxe cars. It was not fitted to basic cars.


All 59 mini’s had the same steering wheel with a different horn push in the centre. This is an Austin wheel.	A Morris horn push.

Some 1959 cars have a cream indicator lens. Others have a green lens.
