    When I purchased my car in 1978 03380 the seats had hounds tooth fabric inserts, similar to Porsches of the era. I would like to replace the current leather with the original fabric and to the original pattern. Any record of other cars with same fabric and how it should be stitched would be greatly appreciated.
    I didn't take any photos back then which I of course now regret.

    my records show just nero 161 as interior material for #03380
    as an option cloth inserts were available, but hounds tooth fabric inserts not...
    I doubt the hounds tooth fabric has been originally fitted by the factory in your case
    the original vinyl nero 161 seat covers can be get from Luppi in Maranello...

    I think the Good Doctor is making reference to a much loved fabric choice widely sported on Autumn Saturday afternoons in one of our Southern States.
