Leather, walnut and chrome...........luxury

There it is then!!! LOL

It is personal choice.

I love the smell of a leather interior (does that make me odd?!) but overall I have to say that I prefer cloth seats.

The cold and in particular hot seats you get with leather have put me off them.

you can't beat the look,smell and the comfort of leather..

myself I like the look of Leather and when I got my car was the first mod I did.

As my son said when he first saw the car
. " Its only got cloth seats, a 75 not a 75 without Leather."
but each to there own.

it's pretty much the same as a Jaguar without leather it's simply not the done thing, lacks that coachbuilt look

I'd say the velor have the edge slightly on comfort and the leather in every other way.

I upgraded to leather and will do so again in all my 75's.

Leather is better for the ladies as they can slide into the car easier without getting their cloths tangled.

Elec stops the cold issue, and a tea cloth stops them getting hot in the sun and has multi other uses in a car. (like mopping up spilt drinks)..

Personally I like to have scatter cushions around in a car, you never know when a pillow may come in handy.

. And I use one to sit on as it stops me sliding around, and on long trips i can move it under me to alter the pressure points..

I must admit I have to agree with that, some cars really should have leather, especially Jaguars, they do look naff with there Tweed cloth seats

In my old club model I had cloth and in my dads connie leather and out of the 2 it's leather everytime the look the feel the smell. Question is it just me or when I walk up to my dads car I look through the windscreen and look at all the leather and piping looks gorgeous. I'm also sure the leather will be more hardwaring than cloth
