Terry,
I've had my TR250 from new and still have most of the original interior 
parts. It had rubber mats with snaps like some of the earlier cars. It 
never had carpet until I restored it.

Terry and Larry,

Both of your cars could be correct.  I was an officer of a company that =
among other things is one of the largest Independent Toyota distributers =
in the world.  Yes, even Toyota still has a few independent distributers =
left.  They all make a lot of their profit from what they add to the =
cars after they get them in port and before invoicing the dealers for =
them.  In fact, in the US there are two Regions that the cars are =
delivered to the dealers slightly differently than the rest of the =
country.

This type of distribution was much more popular in the 50=E2=80=99s, =
60=E2=80=99s, and 70=E2=80=99s. =20

So where I am going with this, is that Larry=E2=80=99s car may have been =
delivered to a dealer with rubber floors and Terry=E2=80=99s car may =
have originally been delivered with carpet.  Or the dealers could have =
done things to them prior to final delivery.  There was a Chicago dealer =
that was a direct importer and distributor of several import car lines.  =
None of them ever made it to the retail lot without going through a =
department that added to them and increased the MSRP for the options =
that they added.  =20

So again, In addition to distributers and importers adding to the cars, =
it was very popular for dealers to have packages of things that they =
added to cars to increase profit.  A lot of this pre-dates the current =
US system for New Car Monroney labels from the factory, that the dealer =
cannot remove or change.  It was very easy for the dealers to modify the =
cars and set the price.

I am sharing this, because it could help understand why to two cars that =
are very original could be different and both be correct.

Even in the 80=E2=80=99s and early 90=E2=80=99s there was mass confusion =
over what model year some Alfa=E2=80=99s and Maserati=E2=80=99s actually =
were.  They left Italy in one year and did not get recognized in the US =
until one or two model years later.  We sold them new and it was amazing =
that this was still happening in the late 80=E2=80=99s and 90=E2=80=99s. =
 Due to the US VIN numbers system, with the 10th digit being the model =
year, this never should have happened.  However, It was.

Have a good Sunday,

Paul Ricco

Here's a 1971 with very low miles that was on Bring a Trailer. Not sure 
what "early" means, but this has a pretty good series of picture.  I 
work with the person who ended up buying it, at least I'm pretty sure it 
was this one, if you need more pictures I might be able to convince him 
to take some.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-triumph-tr6-45/

Starting with picture 70, there are close ups of the drivers footwell / 
carpet.

Regards, Tony Drews

    <p>Here's a 1971 with very low miles that was on Bring a Trailer. 
      Not sure what "early" means, but this has a pretty good series of
      picture.  I work with the person who ended up buying it, at least
      I'm pretty sure it was this one, if you need more pictures I might
      be able to convince him to take some.</p>

    <p>Starting with picture 70, there are close ups of the drivers
      footwell / carpet.<br>
