Hi all I know this question has probably been asked so many times before and there are topics about them being reproduced but I thought they were for the 850 which were different from later models like the deluxe.
So my question is are they reproducing any vinyl floor mats for any model as I read that Tru fit carpets were going to reproduce them?.

Was their much difference between the 850 floor mats and the deluxe ones. By memory I think that I seen a 65 deluxe that had the Morris bull in the middle of the floor mat at the front the tunnel was this the same as the 850 ?.

Are there Any nos ones out there?

Cheers Hayden.

Hi Hayden. No-one I know reproduces them yet. Tru-fit sold part of the business that was going to do the vinyl mats.
I was just looking online for another place that could do the mold. Most of the mats I have seen have slight changes in the location of logos etc. If we had one reproduced I am sure that no-one would care much for that.. they'd be happy just to have a reproduction mat. I did spend $500 on the chemicals to create a mold but haven't done it yet. ... and that's just for the front mat - which I have a 95% perfect mat to use as a template. Maybe one day someone will get to it.
