Back seats look hardly sat in.
Would be interested to know whether that rubber mat slips easily back under the starter switch housing bracket.
Its interesting the psychology of protecting things versus using them. I'd probably have simple removeable overmats for driver for when in use, but the richness of feeling, being able to get into that car with those original items in and conserved in the optimum way against future degradation, is immeasurable. I guess it's akin to people who want to use seat-covers to protect the car value for future owners but don't enjoy the interior as a result?
Those rubber mats are so caked in oil and grease and very brittle, and they are stuck to the floor in places, I fear that taking them out will ruin them, so I either replace them with Seven Workshop, which look very similar, or get shoes covered in grease everytime, or cover them over.
