    Introduction and Carpet Question

    Hello All:
    I have recently joined the forum and am also new to Porsche cars. I appreciate what I have already learned from searching threads on various topics. I have recently purchased a 1969 911E project having parted with my Lotus Elan. My intention is to rebuild the car as close to original as possible and create the nicest driver I can.

    I was wondering if someone can confirm if this is the correct carpet for a '69 E, and whether anyone has any experience with this supplier:

    Regards
    Darren

    Darren,

    Nice looking ride, and I agree with the above NO that carpet is wrong in so many ways.

    Do a quick search on carpet, there are a number of suppliers of correct looking carpet, with Autobahn being the most correct, if not perfect match for the carpet that was originally in your car.

    I went with http://www.autosintl.net/ in a group buy a couple of years ago for RHD cars, and was very happy.
    Tony

    If not, you have someone else with a car in a very similar state of assembly as yours

    The really nice carpet Porsche used in that era was called Hargaan (or similar). It was a pure wool in a deep grey colour and sometimes called "pepper and salt"

    Welcome and I agree, great colour! Click my signature link and I've done a pretty thorough resto on a very similar car and used the Hargaan carpet.
