i've talked to Emil on the phone as I knew his dad(a true gentleman) before he passed. The car has a homebuilt body as I indicated to Emil. More than likely it was prob a sedan variety in one part of its life..the odds are in that favor. and if it were the whole interior would have been leather.95 percent of all south african cars were delived with leather. remember road were practically non existent and if they did exist eg (Capetown to Jo burg a distance of 1200 miles) they were unpaved dirt and gravel. so leather was ordered more from a practical standpoint. You even see all leather interior in ford and chevs of that period
