Would it be weird to have leather seats, vinyl door trim and a fabric rear bed?


Thought I would mention that a lot of European cars with leather seats have vinyl trim on the doors and dash (even though most people presume they are leather).

Any combination of the three types of material will go together, I will have to check but I’m sure you can get the tartan cloth that was in the Triumph TR7-8, or just use the tartan wool fabric and choose a colour from it for the vinyl panels and a leather for the front seats, I will check and see if the Triumph Tartan is available and post the price.

Nice one Kev.

I have no idea what the fabric in Tr7s and 8s was like. I was lucky enough to cut my teeth on a TR2A 'longdoor' as a wee nipper, so have a soft spot for the idea of using triumph stuff in a Kombi. That car had some beautiful old leather and wood.

Sorry I haven’t been back to you sooner regarding the Tartan today was the first time I have had to call Melbourne and they have to check with the UK on price so I’m still waiting on word from my supplier.

no drama mate that's awesome. I am still working on the engine, so your data will be tucked away for my next phase of kombi restoration.

Ok this trim is out of the UK or the US cost $100.00 AUD per yd plus freight, it is the reproduction cloth for the Westfalia campers

Bingo. The first one is exactly the one I am after.

I wonder how I should proceed now. It's all a bit of a hassle because Im not near the Kombi. I wonder if I could source another pair of front seats, have them retrimmed, then change over. That's what I'm doing with rims.

What would anyone's projection be for the number of yards required for 2 front seats, full width rear R&R, plus extra for potential fold-down dicky seat arrangement (to be on the safe side).

Not real sure how big the full size R &R would be, but by my reckoning and the fact you can only buy material from either the UK or the US in yard amounts, you would have to buy 3 yards this should give you enough to cover front seats and headrests, the R & R and the dickie seat with some left over
