Right....a very deep and dark colour when compared to the Tan, New Tan, or
Bisque (non factory) colours.

No doubt they shrink...on my 62 (owned since 66), the vinyl shrunk even
when I was using it as my everyday car.
BTW, I would be surprised that something that would fit a 68-70 MkIII would
also fit a 71-80 MkIV/1500 since they have different cockpit surrounds at
the rear. Just another .02 worth. :-)
