He had a 914 seat on display, done in brown tartan material, very heavyweight cloth and it was beautiful. He said they also had other color material. Didn't ask for cost or whether they would sell just the material.

Glenn Sager took an image ... I'll ask him to post it.

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:

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!
