I'd like to get you guys recommendations on where to buy a new interior panel kit & leather seats for my 57 100-6 BN4. Currently I'm looking at Moss and Sports & Classic parts.

Also if anyone has pics they can share of the rear interior of a Longbridge I'd greatly appreciate it.

I went with Heritage Trim for my BJ8 interior. Unless you have the necessary skills for doing the seats I'd highly recommend you have a Healey knowledgeable company do the seats. An experienced Trim company can make all the difference on your cars interior final result. Just my personal opinion, but I believe the interior and body panel fit are the two most important factors affecting the value of a Healey. I had Heritage do my seats and I'm glad I did.

I called Heritage and it went to voicemail. Then emailed with no response. I've read reviews they are good but a little more expensive. Do they have a price list anywhere?
I've watched some videos on doing the seats yourself and want to attempt doing it myself.
 
Try Jonathon Skinner in the UK. I'm just now finishing up a BJ8 with one of his kits. He was about half price of the Moss kits even with shipping from the UK.very satisfied and will order from him again. Just google Johnathon Skinner and his website will come up.

I also went with Heritage. Yes, Tony is sometimes difficult to contact and yes, the price is slightly higher than Moss, but the quality of the product is excellent. Small thing, but since I was going to a red interior I did not want the stark white piping that comes on the Moss kits. Heritage uses an off-white cream piping. I also had an experienced shop install the covers on the seats, as I don't plan on making a career of it myself and did not want to have to live with the results of my learning experience.
 
Tony with heritage did my 57 Longbridge BN4, did a great job, but don't be in a hurry. I received a Gold in Concours at Enclave and am very pleased with his work. I did tell him that some changes had to be made for the Longbridge for the rear seats and trunk area and he did the work as I needed.:driving:
