Seatcovers or not

Why? You may well ask.

Because somehow or other the beetle who owned the car before me incorrectly treated the leather, and the dye comes out on the back of my shirts.

A motor trimmer has told me that the only way to fix it is to re-cover it. That would be fine, except the dark graphite leather seat skins are now NLA from Ford.

I could, of course, see if a motor trimmer could match it "near enough". I've made few phone calls though, and none of the trimmers I've spoken too seem to confident about it.

And I'm not about to go to the expense of re-covering the whole lot to make it match.

So far as second-hand goes, the dark graphite was about the least popular of the AU leather choices. I haven't come across any suitable used seats.

Unless I see something come up on eBay, it looks like I'll have to put up with the smell of Kmart on the morning.

i believe FTG auto salvage (site sponsor) is selling a complete grey leather ghia interior.... might be worth you sending them a PM
