Carpet colour question.

[67-2door]

Hi.
My 1966 saloon is smoke grey (pale blue), the seats are light blue. What colour should the carpet be? Dark blue or light blue?
Is it important to have underlay fitted underneath the carpets? At the moment there isn't any.
Thanks.
Neil.

I'm not sure what the original spec was, but our '61 smoke grey saloon has light blue carpets and looks really well with them. There is an underlay kit that I fitted years back and it seems to have worked well...reduces noise etc.

A smoke grey car would originally have had light blue carpets, and as already mentioned, best to use underlay when fitting.

That's great thankyou. I'll go for the light blue carpets then. It's fitted with shabby dark blue ones at present.
