That dashboard crash pad thing!

[Keir]

I'm back with more questions!

My Esprit doesn't have that long crash pad jobbie that extends from the edge of the instrument binnacle all the way across the passenger side along the dashboard surface. You know, the thing that looks like a giant leather sausage roll?! I thought that it was something that I would need to get manufactured so that my interior looks as original as possible.

Anyway, I was just looking through the web for photos of Esprit interiors to assist the upholsterer when I noticed that other Turbo Esprits don't have the sausage roll either. Was it a later addition? Does anyone know if my 1982 car should have one?

Thanks,
Keir

Here's mine.

I think the US Esprit's had them fitted - something to do with safety regulations.
