They are First Class Forever stamps. Currently, first class here is $.49. They come in sheets of sixteen for $7.68. Send me your mailing address and I'll send you a sheet gratis. Us Little British Car guys have to stick together! lol

The new interior turned out very nicely - as good looking as a Jimi Hendrix stamp (see, staying on topic!). I'm now working on restoring a steering wheel for it.

That looks great but I think you installed the steering wheel on the wrong side. How about a few more shots on a new thread.

Bill, tgo
