I just contacted them about tan vinyl. There is no more of the factory stock left that I could find and they confirmed it. They sent a sample of an alturnate color that is very very close to the original. On a complete re-do it would be perfect.
... being in the same boat with a 73 Tan interior (factory "Beige #31" interior code with the Dark Tan #503 carpet), I had them send their samples but they're not a match you cna just do part - so it's all or look for NOS. I'm trying to locate NOS carpet pieces that I still need (esp. the driver floor piece) and have some good used leatherette materials for repairs as original, but may end up doing the AI full interior redo route if I can't get everything.
Several members on here have had 914s done by AI & were duly impressed, & I've seen 356s & 911s/912s done by AI and they're work is excellent.
Another good shop for classic P-cars, BMW & MBZ as well is World Upholstery in Ojai CA - same materials & high quality workmanship:
http://worlduph.com/porsche/As for finding the Tartan Fabric, there are several VW vendors who are on TheSamba.com who carry the OEM &/or good repro of it (varies by vendor) - most are in SoCal area, and that was the same fabric as used in our 914s. Go search there if you want to find your tartan!
