I'm looking for members who want to redo their seats with the original plaid style material that was used in the 75-76 models. I have spoken with Doug - SMS Upholstery and he's willing to recreate the tartan material. If interested please email me at rhsouth@ev1.net or leave me a message (281)548-7022.

Thank You

sounds interesting. which colors will he be willing to produce? i can think of three that i've see: blue, green, and orange (which was originally on my car).

I need all the different colors that people are intersedted in putting back on their car, such as, Bright Red, Green, Orange, Blue.

My 76 which is Malaga red, a dark red, had plaid sets. I wonder if the fabric is the same as that used in the bright red cars of that year? I remember the same plaid material was used in VW's of that time. A friend of mine had a dark red Scirroco with plaid seat inserts.

here's a copy of the factory fabrics sheet.

There were alot more than those 4 plaids. See the link on my collectibles webpage in my signature block. I don't have them all either...

I would definetly be interested in the red one on the bottom the pic that double-a posted. My car originally came with that, but was ripped up, so we recovered it.

The red looks great.

I'd be interested in the yellow.
(remember, yellow is faster )

I really like the Barclay Dress Tartan on the Tartan interiors pages. Damn, if I read this correctly, this pattern was created by John de Berchelai in 1069 A.D.!!

OH YES YES YES ! This is very close to the original pattern ...

Enough yellow to do two seats would be nice.

I also find this pattern could be somehow period correct ...
Was not available for the 914 but was very often seen in cars in the 70' in association with black vinyl.
Could be a nice alternative and could suit almost all colors of car.
Has anyone seen 914 seats rehupolstered with this pattern ?

Yes, mine has the blue/black with that pattern. I'll get you a pic next week.

The 71 Gemini Blue Metallic L96E (when I get to it) will have this pattern as seat inserts.

You can find a lot of nice Tartans here: http://www.tartan-finder.com/Napier_Clan_Shop.htm

No, but my friend's VW Fastback has it's seats in Hound's Tooth. With a BMW sky blue paint. Nice car
