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! |

here is a pic of original carpet pulled out of car back in 1991 next to offcut of factory material.
unfaded under sill covers. fair bit of colour lost in first 15-16 years of sun exposure. (story was the car only got used in usa summer with top ALWAYS off). offcut of material i got from aus distributor back around the same time is true to orig colour. offcut has not seen any exposure to sun since early 90s. neither has what i put in the car - never got around to finishing the rhd carpet set until this year when i recommissioned. this is for a brown interior. this mob look like they have something close as a raw material supplier. you would need a sample to work out whether the pile size weave pattern looks right. the stuff in 914s was fairly tight loop. isn't cheap. ("fancier" 911 stuff from same era is half the price per metre/yard!!). https://www.europeanautointeriors.com/categ...ubclass=PORSCHE |
