Darrell:
    Check your copy of the TRA Judging Standards and Restoration Guidelines.  
The 3 piece rear tonneau cappings were always vinyl, and the dog legs, door 
edge rolls, and scuttle edge roll trim were either leather or vinyl to match 
the trim (seats) in the car.

Randall,
Interesting!  I am having a Senior Moment on that question right now.  
I 
should know this but I am stumped.  Question would be:  What is 
actually covered 
in leather if the Leather Option was selected at the factory?  I need 
this info 
for the TR3B since I am planning on recovering the leather seats.  
Another 
problem is the 3B is at the paint shop and not home currently.  I can't 
even say 
what is leather now other than the seats.  The guy at the shop says 
everything else looks like vinyl.  It is a 3 hour road trip to get 
there.  What say the 
wisdom of the List?  Would it be different for a TR3 or TR2 interior?
Thanks,
Darrell
