Picked up a 75 with pretty low miles. Does this seat material look original to you guys? I dont see an analogous reference in the literature I am seeing... any thoughts?

Update. Have the plaid covers that were optional on my car in 1975 coming today from 914 Rubber and could not be more excited. Or so i thought!

Was at the upholstry shop this morning with the car to discuss the install and was reviewing the seats. I turned the bottom cushion over on the driver side and saw this:

It would seem that whoever recovered the seats with the non-standard material that is on it now went right over the old material WHICH WAS THE PLAID! CARma at it's finest. So excited to be returning it to original which i just happen to like. Cloud 9 right now

Fantastic!

What is the condition of your original hidden plaid, once uncovered?
