Check with Geoff Chrysler, Rightway Trimming for correctness of
materials and styles. He has done quite a few restores. Hank

 Harold, 
 Without reference to the Concours Guidelines, seats on the 100s
(BN1/2s) had leather facings, with the entire seat cushion, the front
of the backrest and the arm rest top in leather and the back of the
seat rest in a matching vinyl. 
 In the US, leather seats on convertibles (BJ7-8s) were a VERY RARE
option, and the vast majority of cars came in vinyl. Many folks use
this to do their cars with a leather interior, but again that's not
how the majority were trimmed from new. I think in 40 years I've seen
just one or two convertibles documented with leather from the factory.

 Cheers, 
 Curt

	I am about to have my seats done in leather and I have was wondering
if leather was ever offered by the factory. Were all 4 seats and the
backrest available in leather or were there different options? My car
was originally all vinyl and I would like to match the set up of a
factory option if I can. 

	Thanks,
