I'm opening it up for the first time in many decades. I got my '76 in 1984 as the 2nd owner. I'm pretty sure the seat fabric wasn't changed from original before I got it, but looking at the fabric patterns and colors I can find here and elsewhere, nothing looks like the pattern I have. The color has faded and of course wear, but did they go hog wild in the last few production models and used anything? my vin is 4762903481, 12/75. It's Malaga red.

wasn't really anything goes in 75/76.
karmann were using the tartan fabrics which had been developed for the VW sirrocco range. the sirrocco was under production at karmann alongside the 914. so they used those fabrics as well. the sirrocco effectively replaced the 914 as far as VW was concerned. i don't believe the 911s used the tartan fabrics. not a porsche thing. agree with @rjames whatever that fabric is its not VW fabric from 75/76. |
