Alberto's comments prompt me to ask:
What is recommended to repair/refinish/enhance small marks in leather seats
and trim?
MY 58 A has had the same tan full leather interior since I bought it 13
years ago AND still has that wonderful smell when I open the toneau.
(Another plus for leather).
The seats are otherswise A1 and I don't want to go to the expense of a
re-trim. What is recommended these days to care for and restore Connolly
leather (At least I - think- they are Connolly!)
