RHD Carpet set - Group buy

72911E · Post by **72911E** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 6:03 am

I am looking for a RHD carpet set.

http://www.autobahninteriors.com/

I contacted Tony @ Autobahn Interiors (guys over on early911s reg recomened him). He said that he would do up some RHD carpet sets but he does not have the patterns - everything is the same except the kick panels and the front floors.

If we do a group buy we should get a good discount.

My car is RHD but the carpets in it are LHD. Does anyone have old pieces we could use for patterns?

Thanks
Derek

I am sure some one came up with a pattern a while back for a carpet set

If I had this right this guy helped set up and ran Auto's International and left to start out on his own in San Diego. In the 356 world he also is very good. One man band I was getting him to make my Pre A set but he didn't have a pattern where as Auto's did

would have thought he would have sorted out some patterns before he started up. Anyway the results should be good..

Hi,

Update - Tony at Aubahn needs me to send the pattern first before I can go anyfurther. ??

I also contacted Auto Intl (www.autosintl.net). They can supply RHD now and will offer a discount -see below.

''Hi Derek, will be happy to extend a discount to you if you purchase 3 or more sets. You can have them for 725.00 each (dealer discount).Thanks for sending the post. It is incorrect in that Tony did not help set up Autos International, he came to work for this company when Autos had been around for 17 years.We will be happy to work with you and your group in anything that you guys need. Please go to our website and check out our work in progress at www.autosintl.net''

btw - normal price is 875 plus freight for correct German salt and pepper carpet.

We need a show of hands, lets says by the end Sunday if all that is interested can send me a PM with their email address and what they you looking for RHD/LHD, Coupe/Targa, Year etc and will send a group mail out with our order.

Thanks
Derek

**To clarify - Discount price above is in USD. So price is USD 725 (approx 390 Stg).

We need min of 3 for first order, then anyone can order after that. SO far

1) Me
2) Graham.

dogbower (Stuart) impmad2000 (Tim) any interest?

This is the mail I have from Auto Intl over night. (after first order of 3, offer can stay open to DDK)

Hi Derek, perhaps they can use your name as a reference for the
discount, see if you can coordinate to have them send their order by
email or fax within one week of each other. The initial sale should
be for 3 sets, after that it does not matter. We can extend the
discount if they use your name.

Sorry, at the minute, the engine rebuild is top of the priority list. I think the carpet set will have to wait a while.
