New old stock leather interior

[d7ve_b]

Morning all,

I’m more of a reader than a poster but thought this would interest some given it’s relative rarity. My Vee has the ID pack interior, which after 50k of miles is starting to look a little worn on the drivers seat. The wear is nothing major, but when an opportunity arose to buy a set of new, old stock leather interior in the right colour I couldn’t resist it!

Pics below (assuming I’m working this forum correctly):

It’s surprising how much padding there is inside the seats! They’ll be getting fitted on the next visit to Scott.

That was an impossible buy! I salute you!

Was it ‘bolster wear’ with the original or just ‘general cracking’?

Wonderful! What a great find. Thanks for sharing.

Where do you find them from?

Do make sure you keep the old ones just in case!

That is some find, :approve:

The bolster is in good condition relative to the age/mileage, the ‘shoulder’ bolster had some early signs of cracking but nothing significant, only really noticeable because of the light colour of the seats. I expect most people would not have considered an upgrade but I couldn’t say no.

Wonderful! What a great find. Thanks for sharing.

I found an old post on here about someone who bought the pallet of old stock, after following the thread to a chap in the Netherlands I ended up talking to a chap off V6passion who had the stock in his warehouse. Many messages later and it was en route to me from France.

Definitely keeping the current covers should I ever sell the car.

Wow! Great story! Shows the value of these old threads. Long live v6clio.net!

I recall him trying to sell me a dark brown set, but he had one piece missing
