Could someone tel me how to find the origional colour of my interior. I need to order a new set of carpets and want to keep the binding the same colour as the seats but have no idea what its called plus the carpets have been dyed blue but they were origionaly a green colour. I have put a picture

Any help would be great

Leather looks like Doeskin but couldn't swear to it, can't see the carpets at all in that pic. You'll need to post some better pictures if you want to get thoughts on those.

p.s. body, trim, carpet colours etc. should be written in the handbook assuming you have it?

Cheers RichB Its hard to tel the colour from the photo I know and since the carpets have been dyed blue It's not going to help showing pics of them what I was really trying to find out is will there be any trim codes on the car anywhere? When I purchased the car I was told it was antelope leather trim but not sure if he meant the colour or the type of hide that was used.

Well antelope will be the colour (as was my suggestion of Doeskin) not the type of hide, have you got the handbook?

[chris52]

yes I do have the hand book but can't see anything in there about interior trim. will there not be anything stamped on the car?

A lot of TVR leather colours are Jag colours if this helps

I just found this - looks useful as a bookmark.

Chris... when you take out the centre arm rest area... you can clip a bit off as there is usualy a lot turned back on the underside (this will also need re-sticking as the glue will have come loose!!).. Send this to DC trim and they will confirm 100% what it is... my book says one colour but it's not... so take care.... send a sample!!

Didn't make the meeting Monday.. was half way there up by the airport (long way round) when the fan belt snapped!!!!.. bugger!

Cheers for the feedback coverdale has sent me as few samples so hopefully I will be able to match them up ok.

Hey mate,

How did you get on with Coverdale? I'm considering getting a complete set of carpet for my 944 from them.

Cheers!
