Fairthorpes............lets have a look at the interior.

Steve Colling`s EM 2, note the extra pedal assembly on the passenger side
(dual control conversion Steve?)
 
Richard Holden`s EM 1
 
I get lots of people asking about the interior of the cars when they are undertaking a restoration so I thought I would post some pictures to inspire those of you that are in rebuild mode! Back in the 70`s when most Fairthorpes were clinging to existence and held together with tape and woodscrews the interiors usually consisted of a worn out pair of used seats from something else, no door panels (the original compressed card ones having got wet and rotted away) and usually no carpet, if there was some left it was usually rotten and smelly!  There were one or two exceptions, but nowadays nothing could be further from the truth, many owners are taking a lot of pride in their Fairthorpes and some have really pushed the boat out in the effort to make their cars more liveable.

Martin Green`s EM 1

Hopefully you will enjoy these few, if you have a nice picture of the interior of your Fairthorpe email me a picture and I will post it up.
