    The rubber heel pads are sewn direct onto the carpets without any vinyl edging. There is a natural ridgeline around the inner edge of each rubber insert to use for the stitching lines which I've highlighted in red on your photo.

    is that a thin vinyl material or 1-2 mm thick rubber?
    wrt the binding, i believe that only applies to the narrow ribbed heel pads, see the above red carpet photos.
    the wide ribbed heel pads are sewn directly to the carpet without a binding.

    Good point. The originals are pliable vinyl as opposed to thick rubber.

    Yes, it is model related I believe. As production ramped up Ferrari appear to have altered the spec's on various items to either speed up production for suppliers or, and more likely, reduce costs and improve their own margins. The majority of E series cars have the pads sewn directly into the mats without any additional vinyl binding around the edges. Matthias may be able to offer advice on when this may have happened but going from my own cars it certainly was the case from February 1972 production. My December 1971 car is missing it's original mats so I cannot confirm if they were the same type.

    I contacted Luppi,and had a very quick response and their price for the original vinyl mats are 120 euro plus shipping.Although I have contacted them by email several times I have not had a reply,it is over 3 weeks since I last heard from them.
