I just had a ton of suspension and other work done on my '71 Irish Green (which I will detail in the what have you done subforum at a later date after the rust remediation is done) and now I need to source a nice carpet kit.

The interior is the biscuit tan/light brown. What would be a good high quality kit that would have been original to the car?

I've looked at AA and 914Rubber but the pictures are not great and don't give me a sense of what the carpet looks like. The color should be tan I'm guessing?

Any help with this would be welcomed!

if you want to go stock/original tones?
not certain what went in 71 cars with tan.

i have a 74.
with brown interior.
the car came with a 73 colour selection chart tucked into the handbook folder.
i guess the original owners picked up some printed material in 73 from a dealer when they were thinking about their purchase? seems like 74 brown was same as 73 brown combo so tan probably was too.
i have seen those colour selection charts for each year around on the internet.

for 73 the brown interior had brown carpet.
tan had tan carpet.
two choices, needle loom or pile.

the trick will be the carpet material itself.
the original carpet material was very 70s (in a good way).
you would almost call it "hippy" fashion tones.
natural wool tones. for the pile at least.
there was a white fleck or white thread mixed in with the dyed fibre.
a picture speaks clearer than words. see image attached.

where you get this carpet now i do not know?
i managed to get it from porsche australia 30 years ago to make a rhd carpet set for my car. it was factory stock still available from the warehouse in germany.
