Here across the pond I'd suggest Autos International.

Re: Source of blue vinyl
David a year or two ago my friend wanted to replace the vinyl seats of his Fawn interior and no one had it. He snipped a small piece not exposed to the sun and shipped it to Autos International and they found vinyl that matched almost perfectly with the rest of his original interior.

Re: Source of blue vinyl
Hi David, Very nice interior colour [ same as mine ]. Although I haven't seen many Blue interiors, it might be possible there are different Blue colours for different years. My car is a '65 and the seats have Pearl Grey corduroy inserts as well. I think Doug's suggestion is spot on, clip off a piece where it has been hidden from light/UV, and send it. The freight would be pretty expensive if Autos International were to upholster your entire interior, but maybe they will help with supply of the vinyl. It would be interesting to know the original exterior colour of your car if possible. Thanks, jim

This is on the wrong side of the pond, but when I redid my 912 I used Global Upholstery . In addition to the leather hides, I was also able to by the correct square weave carpet in 60" wide roll to replace the rubber mat. they were great to work with and very knowledgeable on Porsche. https://www.cartopsplus.com/
