Check out Prostitch, they call Ivory, Beige.

I think it is ivory in these cars.  "White" might be a convenience description.  Some earlier ones were grey.  Lakewell are a good guide, but not perfect.  Check the US forum sites also. It is about the colour as well as the correct hole pattern.

Thanks for the info all @81SC

I rang pro stitch today and they are sending samples of headliner carpet and vinyl.. apparently the vinyl and carpet were only made for a few years 74-76?

Mike if you want the real deal - ie factory correct in terms of colour and perforation pattern then try Southbound Motors Trimmers in the UK. Their headlining is the best around - hands down. 
Many others pass theirs off as the correct Porsche pattern but that is incorrect. If it has a square pattern it is incorrect. If is has a diamond pattern it is correct.

Werk924 are the premier company in Germany that supply Porsche fabrics. I know they lean more towards 924's but there was definitely a crossover of materials into other models. They may or may not have what you are after but it won't hurt to have a look. If you need to translate something, I just highlight the German words, copy them and paste them into Google translate .. works a charm .. 🙂
