Only on drivers side, cabin, boot, engine bay all bone dry. Any theories?
I suspect there’s a leak in the roof the driver’s side. When it was tucked away, the damp has enabled mould to flourish. I may be wrong, though.
A leak will do it, too.
How can the mould be removed and the interior made good again?

Dilute Milton fluid
What about the carpet? And the parcel shelf? Any ideas?
There are a lot of automotive interior spray cleaners on the market (Autoglym, maguires etc) ..I would start with dilute white wine vinegar sprayed on, let it dry then hoover it. If you have a wet and dry hoover use that. Steam cleaner also good if you have one
Wow !.....Can't help feeling there is a "How To...." article in the preparation 
A solution. Just need to watch out for woodworm!
OK…walking right into this…what’s s magic eraser sponge?
It's a brand name of a specific melamine sponge:
Other, non-branded, thicker/stronger versions are available at considerably cheaper cost:

They look interesting as there are no chemicals.
