Some Gliptone Liquid Leather will get that looking lovely again

Reminds me, my driver's side seat needs some of that stuff. Need to get some ordered up.

Wouldn't that arm rest stop you getting to the handbrake on your RHD cars?

This is the one I'd like - and you thought the official Pug one was costly!

Here it is in-situ in a Coupe:

Looks like it's meant to be there, doesn't it? Leather and chrome, just like the seats and the gearknob.

Gary, at £65 those seats look really good to me.

If I were offered a set - in that condition - that would fit my saloon without much fighting involved - some point last year, I'd have gone right for it.

I think you'd be very surprised how well they'd come out with an application of Liquid Leather. As long as the seats aren't all torn or mouldy, they'll come up beautifully with a little work.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
