Noice.
Is that one of yours Jon? I quite fancy that colour trim for my silver 964.
Yes, one we’ve just finished for a customer. I probably would go with a slightly darker carpet though.

I’ve never seen a light carpet in a car that wouldn’t look better dark.
Red counts as dark.

The owner Andrew Walton got an HSCC Platty Jubilee award for the best prepared car. It did look very lovely. Not sure the tyres are very "period" though

The Platinum Cup for the best presented car of the weekend, as judged by the HSCC’s team of scrutineers, was awarded to Porsche 911 racer Andrew Walton in Historic Road Sports. Walton worked tirelessly to build the 911 into a race car from a bare shell during Covid lockdown.

I had a Golf a few years ago the registration number of which ended in DDK. Timing belt broke, valves contacted pistons, bye bye Golf.
