[TR] carpet sets on ebay

[Roger Elliott]

I rather like the look of loop carpet instead of tufted on our cars.  
Seems more appropriate to me, but it is very hard to find these days.

I have Newark Carpeting (the tufted variety) in my Spitfire which 
appears to be what Ben's Auto Parts on Ebay sells.  When I got it 
several years ago it had jute backing It has held up well..    It fit 
fairly well.  There are some places I have problems with in the foot 
wells but it may have been the installer (me) instead of the carpet.
