Prestige Autotrim in England (1-800-659-2649) lists leather seat kits for
the Spitfire at $292. I ordered my mohair top from them and am very pleased
with the quality of their work.

>along this line, has anyone changed from vinyl to leather seats? I know
some spitfires (at least, probably other triumphs too) came with leather as
o.e., but where would I find a decent reupholstering kit for leather? I
think I heard some place in england makes 'em (forget the name) and vicky
brit lists a black/black kit for something like $400, so there must be
something about it to justify the extra $200 (the nice lady who answered the
phone there couldn't say). any experiences out there? I gotta redo my
seats anyway, figure I might as well go all out...

it. just don't flame me... please... I won't even change the original
color. I left the generator on it! and I definitely _don't_ want to put a
judson superchager in it. honest.
