Toyota Cressida Interior

Cressida interiors date themselves with velour seats, wood-grain dash trim and period-correct dashboards that crack under SA sun. Toyota cressida interior stock at both depots covers seats, dashboards, steering wheels, door cards, centre consoles, headliners, sun visors and the chrome interior trim that defines X60/X70-era comfort. Donor pulls dominate — reproduction interior trim simply doesn't exist.

Dashboards are the most problematic single item. UV exposure cracks the vinyl top across the full width, and replacement dashes from donor cars with intact tops are scarce and priced accordingly: R3,500-R8,500 when available. Sheepskin or custom vinyl dash mats are a cheaper route if you can live with the cover rather than a refresh. Seats in presentable condition (velour not torn, foam not collapsed) run R2,500-R6,500 per pair. X80 MX83 GX interiors with electric seat adjust are collector territory — R4,500-R9,500 per front seat when clean examples come in.
