Thread: Two Door Carpet. Anyone interested?

There is this stuff - Autex - Performer/Flex. But it would be unlikely to be available in that colour. Maybe you could get a lighter coloured sample and see if it could be dyed the or react colour?

You can get moulded carpets to suit the 2 door, but it won't quite look the same as it left the factory.

That looks the same colour as mine. It is still on my "to do" list to see the trimmer I usually use here in Adelaide.

Just found this - it is the spare wheel cover and the only bit left of the original interior of my 85. Looks to be a similar colour. All the carpet is long gone and was rotten due to a water leak on the windscreen. Just wondering what years this colour was used up to?



Not much help now, but someone was selling some good condition rear cargo area carpets this colour on ebay a while ago from an RRC - didn't get a single bid, but it had the correct colour name listed.

I'm guessing this is what it should all look like...



Looks good when new, but not so flash when all faded and rotten.

I looked at an '82 4 door a while ago and while i thought the colour was right, when I compared the two it was lighter.
Now if a bloke weren't too fussy, then that would work, though it is a lighter mustard shade than the camle tan or slightly darker in the 2 door.

Funny, both the '82 and and '83 I looked at both suffered from water ingress.
Rotted and faded the original, then there was the smell. Eew eee musky

Cheers,

Carpet in the first post is the same colour as what was in the '81 I bought for the body, etc.

The carpets in my '74 are paler, not sure if the passenger compartment ones are original but the spare wheel cover looks to be, and it matches.

Carpets??.."luxury"..when I were a lad we had to live in shoe-box with hole in bottom.
No carpets there..
.....and NO carpets in the '72 Suffix A either just Palomino rubber mats.

So when you find the correct colour etc I will be interested ....and likewise I will keep a lookout too.

Ok.......... hope this helps.

Closer inspection of all the '74 carpets incl. spare wheel cover reveals stray edges finished with blanket stitch.

Dunno if this would have been original. Pile is different from my experience of genuine '81 (like jack and bacicat's photos). Backing looks to be the same.

Driver's floor carpet has moulded in rubber mat.
