Replacement Carpets

[Keir]

Hi all,

I wonder if someone can help me with some carpet advice.

I'm replacing the carpets in my 1982 Turbo Esprit and have been looking at the Coverdale website. Unfortunately they only list Esprit carpets to suit 1988-1992 models:

https://www.carcarpets.co.uk/lotus-esprit-1988-to-1992-carpet-set---blenheim-range-41992-p.asp

Email communication with Coverdale has been hard work but they did reply once to say that they have a pattern for a "Lotus Esprit S3 which was taken from a 1983 model" and they sent me a rough looking hand drawn sketch of that pattern. That sounds like it would be correct for my car but I'm a bit worried that the pattern looked so rough!

Has anyone else ordered carpets for a series 3 Turbo Esprit and can they suggest where I might find the most accurate cuts? I'm just after plain black as per the original spec. If there's a supplier other than Coverdale that might be better then I'd be keen to check it out. I'm in Australia so it doesn't matter where it is, as long as they can ship!

Thanks,
Keir

Hi Keir, 

i too got in touch with Coverdale for my 86 S3 and although they did get back quite quickly i too also received the same hand drawn picture. I got in contact as the guys above have said with @Steve V8.  He produced a top quality carpet for me to fit in the colour i wanted. I think these pictures speak better than words. He is your man and at a very reasonable price too. Cant recommend him enough.

Another recommendation for @Steve V8 Full set of carpets for interior and boot in the production line for me too.

(And I'm in Auckland NZ, so shipping not an issue)

Thanks for all of the responses!

I have made contact with Steve and judging by the quality of his work in the photos above, I think we have a winner.

Cheers,
Keir

If my carpets looked that good, I wouldn't fit my seats to the car either! 😵 😁

These are great! Just sent a PM to Steve to know if they are available also for the S2.2. 😀

Coverdale do the handbrake gaiter and the slots for the seatbelts completely wrongly. Useless. Steve sounds like the man!
