<div dir="ltr">Harold,
<div><br></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
