Very helpful, thanks. I am going to try and make and fit it myself so the pics are a great help. Anyone got a nice Singer 211 for sale ?

Signor Scarpia,
on a minute point, the end of the pull on the cord for the rear blind on your car has what I would call a bead, and below it what looks like a ring. I presume the ring hooks on somewhere when the blind is up, and I would be grateful if you could tell me where.
Alternatively, if I have misread your photographs perhaps you would kindly tell me what is at the end of the pull, and what the arrangement is for securing the raised blind.
I am in the process of trying to improve the interior trim on my car, so the question is not wholly hypothetical.
Saluti
Cesare

The hook that the end of the rear sunblind attaches to when raised is between the front sunvisors (above the rear view mirror) you can see it in the photos if you know what you are looking for!

It is a lovely feature and why I would love to re-instate it ...
When I first had YRV in the early 80's, people were more impressed by the roller blind mechanism than almost anything else.
Pillarless design, all round independent suspension, narrow angle V4, it counted for nothing, they just wanted to to try out the blind !

the hand pulls hanging down by the back windows are capable of moving through a radius of 90 ° against a spring resistance.For some reason I took them off and have replaced them the wrong way because I wasn't paying attention.I'm sure they used to be horizontal pointing rearwards (and return to that position after use) and you pull them down to use them. Anyone know or am i just getting confused and forgetful?

Thank you gentlemen for the information on where and how the rear window blind pull attaches when raised.
Concerning handles above the rear doors, I have replacements on my series 1 car, but they look to be to original pattern, and the way they are mounted corresponds with a diagram that I have. They are in the form of a loop, and point rearwards horizontally, pulling down through ninety degrees when you want to use them. Thus they would seem to corroborate Scarpia's recollection of how his used to be.

If 2nd series ones act in the same way as 1st you are not having a senior moment!

Simon, you may have noticed this yourself, but looking at the leather Aprilia interior on the Ardea website I have just noticed that it looks as if the piping abutting the doors on the roof side panels is done in leather rather than the roof material, which is quite a pleasing idea if it is original. This is the link: http://www.lancia-ardea.it/Interni.htmCiao Cesare |
