Id fix the leaks before you think about new carpets. A set of footwell mats crop up on ebay now & then, which would tidy you over.

Coverdale Carpets seem to be a popular choice.

As Dave says, fix your leaks first. My carpets have rotted too from previous floods - honk a bit too, but now it is dry I can at least consider new carpets - and at £1100 custom fitted I need to consider it a lot!

What they said, fix those leaks first! I fitted a Coverdale set just over a year ago, very nice too. Bear in mind when you do it that the seats, belts, console and ideally roof rear section need to come off. In fact once you have all that stuff out, it's a piece of cake.

Being a little lazy I got Aldridge trimming in Wolverhampton to re-carpet mine - excellent job, but then they have been in the business for 50+ years, so know what thery're doing. They tend to specialise in vintage jags, astons etc - charged about £800 for top quality 80/20 wool carpets & fitting which took best part of 4 days. Def better than original carpets.

I saw Chauch's car at Offords a while ago - the carpets look stunning. I will use the same place when I have mine redone.

I would guess they would fit only as they just make them up for the car using your carpet as a template and match leather edging etc.

You must mean the mats? The carpets are large pieces, can't see them fitting into a washing machine.
