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.

I will also note that the tartans were notoriously short-lived in terms.of durability even to the point of the dealers replacing them on the lot due to fading. It is not unreasonable to assume they wore out fast and the other owner didnt want to spring for the expensive replacement and rather grabbed some other like material.
