If the edge is of a thick single piece of wood it was varnished. If a plywood edge, it was covered in single grain veneer and varnished.

Instrument Panel
The instrument panel is the same layout for both MK V models.
Vinyl (except seats)
The door panels, under dash panels, kick panels, saloon center posts, and areas beside the DHC rear seats are covered in Rexine, which was an early form of artificial upholstering material somewhat like vinyl. The color should match the seat upholstery.
Door Panels
Both the Saloon and DHC have Vinyl Door Panels.
There should be no visible screw heads or other fasteners on the door panels as the factory used hidden hairpin spring clips to hold the panels in place.
