|
Can anyone help me identify this pattern or know where it could be sourced?
I've heard conflicting opinions about it being, or not, as Tristar exclusive. The driver's seat was redone and does not match (but the armrests are still a match) so I am hoping to get a seat or material to have it redone.
Can someone help narrow my search?
Thanks!
Cheers

That fabric pattern is used in 90/91 Base Model Vanagons.
In other markets it was used in more years and models.

The low spec Caravelles and Kombis had it too in europe.
It was called colortweed.
There were some repros available but it seems the sources dried up

It's called Tweed rayé gris clair.

My 87 Syncro Doka and 90 Pritsche (both sold new in Sweden) use the same fabric.

I like the cup holder. Was that an US option only? |

It's a VW accessory I believe. Buslab has some.

Looking at it, it looks more like a French option 
I did not even see the other cup holder before your reply |

I... completely missed the joke. That's Stewie. He's a Pug. So technically, it's a Chinese cup holder.
