1968 Ford Mustang GT390
ONCE I'D FINISHED restoring some metal parts and reupholstering the front and rear seats in my '68 Mustang GT390, it was at last time to install the new carpets (which I already had 'in stock') and fit the seats to complete the interior. There were a few other jobs, too, such as installing the ingenious trapdoor that opens from the boot. The rear seat is a carpeted fold-down affair, its two fabricated steel pieces joined by a chromed piano hinge with the reupholstered seat frames attached to them.

IT WAS A constant source of bewilderment during press week. Scroll back a few decades or so and Motor Sport magazine was a hive of activity at the best of times, but the last few days before an issue went to press were always intense. It was at this juncture that the fax machine would whirr into life and sheets of raw copy would be spat out, all of which had 'PTO' scribbled at their base. None of this made much sense given that the reverse side of each page was obviously blank. It then fell to the office factotum to transcribe everything onto a computation device so that they could be put onto a server and edited.

Raw results
‘I WENT A little deep into that corner – ended up in the kitty litter,’ laughs Steve Nichols. I’m sitting in the back seat of a Range Rover Velar, shoulder-to-shoulder with the design maestro behind the legendary McLaren MP4/4 that Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost drove to dominate the 1988 Formula 1 season.
