TR2/3/3A TR3 Leather Interior / Leather Seats Option

[luke44]

The Heritage sheet for my car shows it was originally fitted with optional leather interior. Does that mean leather seats only, or other panels as well?

It doesn't seem the big 3 US suppliers do leather interior panels - just the seats.

Skinner (UK) offers the seats as partial leather (seat facings), or full leather, and offers the interior trim kit with 7 pieces of leather or the entire interior in leather. Which would be proper if the build sheet said "leather interior"?

Skinner said only a very few special order cars came with leather interior. Mine clearly shows this option on the build sheet (it says leather interior, not leather seats). But Skinner doubted it was special order leather interior.

Anyone have any experience with Skinner? Looks like good stuff from the website.

Thanks in advance,

The leather equipped cars had a mixture of leather and vinyl. The TRA Judging standards explain it pretty well:

The seats were not all leather, and some of the other cockpit surfaces were (like the elbow rails but not the dash).

Luke,

Mine has a Skinner leather interior (Black with white piping) and it is of good quality.

Cheers,
Tush

I have heard a lot lately from yous guys about Skinner interiors.
Would you consider them to be superior to Magic Carpet's?
