I thought the upholstery work was a bit shoddy, too; it appears to be 
difficult to get a smooth fit at the bottom of the seat backs. The guy 
who did my BN2's seats said it was one of the toughest jobs he'd had, 
and he was 83 and had been doing car upholstery since he was 13 (had to 
drop out of school to help support his family).  And it didn't have the 
'checkerboard' pattern on the side panels, which I think adds some 
character to the interior of BJ8s, IMO (probably embossed, which might 
be hard to do with leather).

But, Mike and Ant's enthusiasm for the car, beyond mere patriotism, was 
endearing.
