Is limba the name/colour of the wood?

Errrm - am I missing something here? It's an SO42 so all cabinets are made from Getalit faced ply. Not a limba in sight ;)

Buy Getalit repro from Adam at NLAVW

It's very simple - the 'wood' is all Getalit-faced ply. No limba. None. How do I know? I have a 66 SO42. Don't listen to the Samba readers - they are all mad as a box of frogs!
