Not from the factory they didn't! E types did not have an armrest at all and TR7 armrests are flat molded ones with a molded band and are held on by screws that go straight in. If you found some then somebody swapped them on but the English cars never used original US Ford armrests. BTW, one of my many career "opportunities" after I left Ford was as the shop foreman for a place called "Continental Motors" back in the early 80's. God how I hate those cars still! LOL Hawkrod

After an exhaustive search of about a dozen different parts catalogs that I have for my Slick, all I could find thats OEM equipment is black, red, and ivory armrests. Blue wasn't introduced until the 67-72 years I guess. At least thats when they start sellin em in blue anyways...

Hawkrod, I restore english cars as a day job. Have for going on 8 years. You put the arm rest side by side, they are the same. The ones on the TR 7 are just not stamped FOMOCO.

Funny you would say that. I went out and checked before I posted. They are nothing alike on the two I looked at, maybe it was the year? Hawkrod

For some reason, repopers rarely give you full coverage on colored parts, it is even worse with steering wheel colors.
