We finally got in some original paisley 916 fabric. The original supplier to Porsche finally remade some.

As you historians know, OUR 916 originally had it in the car, but Peter Gregg did not like it so had Tony Lapine switch it to Porsche cloth which it has today, and we would be hesitant to change as it was part of the cars history. However at least we have the original fabric nowAttached Image Attached Image

That fabric was the coolest thing going at the time. 50 years later it is butt ugly.

Fantastic!. Not sure Id put it in a car, Ive seen ads but never the actual article.
Was it only ever installed in the 916 or was it available in /4 & /6 production cars ?

Some of The coolest op-art fabric to ever shock the road going public. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Just do an optional interior you can swap in every now and then. Got any extra or a source to get 3 yards?

the very sad thing about this is that we paid 1000 euros for enough to do the two seats, as it was a special order for just two 916s! Makes it cost prohibitive. (Plus I agree with the rest is not the most attractive stuff!)

I paid 350.00 plus shipping for 3 meters for the Pasha in the Alien.

1k is about right for a rare fabric like that.

I think it's groovy ya baby ya..
