Default 1800 Seat Repairs

I just wanted to give a recommendation to a company called The Leather Surgeons, from Worcester. I'm restoring a '67 1800S and I wanted to save the original seats even though they were past their best and needed several repairs. Richard Feltham is only doing replacement seat covers these days and no local trimmer was interested, so I sent the covers to Leather Surgeons. They did a great job of matching the grain and texture, and got a close colour match, so much so that now I have re-coloured the seats you would be hard pressed to tell which panels have been replaced. I still couldn't get a perfect match to the interior vinyl panels but its still closer than the factory managed on these dark tan interiors.
