Reply To: learning about the Slough differences

Hi Dick,

My 1955 L15 was imported from South Africa.

The seats were leather although I think that the “sides” were originally a plastic material. Mine have been re-upholstered all leather.

The roof lining for 1955 was a vinyl type material but mine has been replaced with fabric which I think is much nicer!

As an African model, mine, and probably yours, had an oil bath air filter which was not normal on the UK models. There is a bracket for this on the RHS jamboneau.

Electrics were Lucas. Walnut dash, different steering wheel, door handles and general trim including scumbled window surrounds to simulate wood. Lucas horns. Chrome grille.

I have loads of pictures of the restoration of my car. If you let me know what you would like, I can email pics.
