After having my upholsterer recover the set of seats in XYW 188 ,I bought another set from a car that was being scrapped.He has almost finished recovering these ,hopefully this week.The seats were stripped,and new foam was was used where required ,I purchased two complete hides of leather,and some matching vinyl.The original covers were unstitched and used as patterns for the new leather .The vinyl has been used to recover the rear panels of the front seats,and the facing of the rear quab. The rest is recovered in leather.The upoholsterer, is a retired friend who spent his working life making car seats ,so the result is superb.When I bought the hides and vinyl ,it was descaribed as a Sand colour,but I would call it Ivory.If you click onto the link ,you can see the quality of the work he did on the car I have restored,the set of seats he is finishing this week are darker than mine .If any one is interested ,they will be going on Ebay shortly.I can send samples of the leather ,but there are only a few small bits left . photos.orange.co.uk/album/8057661
