Sorry, Deano. That is NOT true. TR4 original carpets were charcoal grey and
were bound with black around the Shift lever boot. The replacement which I
bought in '92 from TRF was the same as the original as far as the bound
section.
In '92 the only carpet color available was black. The binding was/is also
black. TRF responded to our request for the original color and charcoal has
been available for several years from them.
However, why Paul's was not bound is beyond my ken.
