Bootlid Trim Panels
I understand that from beginning of 1954, the bootlid trim panel changed from plywood to some sort of Millboard. Have any of our very late XK120 owners noticed this? The same also applied to XK120 FHC throughout. I would be interested to hear of what this "millboard" stuff is like. Regards, John Elmgreen John, The bootlid trim panel on my 140 OTS ( the one I took off for rebuild) is plywood so the change may have occured later than late 120's. Neville Laing John Plywood,with Aluminium Trim Klaus Nielsen- 140FHC John: Millboard on '55 140 DHC 817518 Jim Warren I hope? Klaus is referring to his 'Spare Wheel Compartment' lid and not the 'Casing, for Luggage Compartment Lid - part no. BD9392' S811693 has Casing for Boot lid underside, made out of 'Millboard' which I suspect is correct terminology for this type of compressed timber waste type product - not dissimilar to "Masonite" which is a common Australian trade name that John will be familiar with. My casing is 9/64" thick, smooth on both sides, a very dark brown color, and is the same material used for other 'Casings' such as Door Trim, Under dash panel etc. Roger Payne My error and I apologize. I did refer to the Spare Wheel Cover. Thanks for the correction Klaus
