Probably best to mention the car type - unless of course you do want to replicate the carpet in my front room (!)

I'm quite new to this Volvo malarkey but I think the PV544 mats are different from the Amazon ones (if only cos they were originally rubber) as were the P1800 mats weren't they?

You see I have a knackered set of rubber mats for a PV544 but I don't reckon that's gonna help is it?

I do have templates as I use them to make my own carpet sets

Bare in mind early cars did not have the heater tunnel so the later models will need wider cuts to allow full coverage to top of sills each side !

Kind regards

The cut outs for the dip switch and accelerator will also need transferring to the left side.

O I’m not getting involved with that you will need someone that has a set with the steering wheel on wrong side of the car lol

Best of luck

Well, it's not a 1960 Estate as they were only announced at the 1962 Stockholm Auto Show, in the spring. I'd appreciate a reg number and details for my Estate database if you are willing. Photos too perhaps. PM me?

Pm sent
It’s the best advise I can give but if it helps I could cut a set leaving the foot dipper switch blank also the accelerator pedal “o” seat so you can lay in the car to trim yourselves so you know 100% that fits your car

Some RHD examples of my work from standard black to deep pilled with edging which is more expensive as a trimmer will need to work their magic at extra cost

All the best

This is the most important part to worry about when all left blank you can use the LH side lay in the car cut a X push down so it seats then trim off around the base for perfect fit
