After further review, I regret my moss-bashing comment that they do not
carry Navy Blue seats, panels, etc... In fact they offer the Navy Blue
in the closest to original pattern that I've found. With the exception
of Navy Blue 70-72 eared headrests (#649-110). The carpet however, I'm
willing to do some searching for.
As for the "Butterscotch colour", Imagine Harvest Gold without sparkle
and a more pasty, buttery look. The only reason I can really tell a
difference is that I have a chip missing from a suspected wedding band
wearing PO who gradually took a chunk of the new paint off from behind
the door handle. It's not a color definciency that is well
distinguished it pictures, but I'll see if I can't get a close up of the
two colors side by side.

Irwin:
Moss does have the original style Navy blue: front seat kit (641-530),
rear GT seat kit (641-650), and GT panel kit (643-530) in stock. Not
sure where you got the information that Moss does not supply them.
They are on sale right now, too.
I'm pretty sure that a matching carpet kit can be ordered in Navy Blue
from the same UK vendor we use for the interiors, but it is not
currently stocked or priced.
It's pretty amazing that you can buy a complete correct interior for a 2
year only GT in Blue, but there it is.
Swapping to black or tan is an alternative, but you have the choice of
keeping it original too.
