Looks good - never thought anyone would finish a Humber Sceptre to look like a Peykan, more likely the other way round!
Interior trim? I reckon eBay is your best bet.

Stunning! Really unusual and eye-catching too. The colour could easily have been an option in 1975/76!
Just need some period pressed or SERCK number plates on there and it'll be absolutely spot on...

thx for the positive feed back....after looking at the roof i decided to take the whole felt off and paint it white. this should put back the completion to another 2 weeks.
i have some cosmetic stuff being brought to me from Iran which will complete our Paykan Taxi.

the body work if fully complete, i have 2 mechanical issue which needs sorting....one is heave steering to the right and the other issue is, when driving for 20 to 30 mins it feels as though its running out of petrol...when in fact the petrol is full... for now i am enjoying the drive and its bring much joy to people that see it, an Iranian film company has as asked if they can use the car in a film!! have to start charging
i will post some close up soon. it will have its own website too...as i will do some charity work with this car the web design will be free of charge....which is a blessing.
btw...thats not me in the photo!
