    I am currently doing a full restoration to one of my cars. One thing we are struggling with is finding an exact match (color, pile) for the wool carpet and floor mats. The typical Wilton Wool options are not precise. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to turn? Possibly a custom carpet entity that will replicate what we need? Any suggestions are appreciated.

    When you say the "typical Wilton Wool" is not correct, aren't the factory carpets Wilton Wool?

    Which year/model and color do you need?

    It is correct, because current Wilton wool samples don’t match what I need.

    Anyhow, if anyone knows a source that can custom match carpets, please advise. Much appreciated.

    Got it. I have some NOS (from Bill Hirsch) tan carpets (for a 330 GTC), so JW. But yes, the new stuff isn't on par.

    If you don’t mind casting your net a bit further, HVL in the Netherlands have a large range of period style Ferrari carpet.

    I bet you have a good chance of finding something suitable. Good luck.

    Thank you. I have been in contact with Henk, He is dealing with a recovery right now so he's sidelined short term. My hope was to possibly find a source here in the US.

    Jeff - try Heritage upholstery and trim. They are located in California and Canada and might be able to help you with your issue or suggest an alternative source. I will be using them for my 1968 Pagoda that I recently purchased.
