Tartan Seat Color for Phoenix Red Car, What tartan seat color would you choose for a Phoenix Red 914? Options

[FifthOrb]

Hello all!

I recently purchased a 1973 Phoenix Red 914 2.0 and I would like to recover the seats.

I researched a decent amount so far and know that 914Rubber makes good looking reproduction covers in a variety of classic Tartan colors.

My questions at this point are; would tartan be “correct” for a 73, and if not, would it hurt the cars value? (I wouldn’t think so, but thought I should ask some experts)

Additionally, what color tartan would your select if you had my car color? I’m leaning away from orange and more toward something like black & blue to add a bit of contrast but I would like some other opinions to help open my mind.

Appreciate the help! -Craig

Tartan is cool. The seats slide out. If you are worried about resale just get a second set of seats. The orange looks cool with a black back pad and carpet.
