Adam (I assume),
Welcome to the forum.
Some answers:
1, Can anyone please tell me if carpet was a factory option?
In the trunk - no. It was a vinyl mat.
2, What finish was the trap door handle?
Semigloss black
3, was the spare wheel a space saver or a full size wheel?
I believe it was full size.
And where in the UK, North, South, East, West?
