Mark 2 Jaguar Interior

[TokyoRich]

So.. I bought my MKII about 18 months ago and got it straight into a paint shop to take it down to bare metal and respray it.. Now it is finally finished and I am turning my attention to the interior.

The question I have is that, the way I see it I have 3 options:
- Get a trimmer to completely retrim the thing
- Buy a full interior kit from one of the various companies that supply them
- Try to do it myself with furniture clinic products - problem being that the driver seat beading is gone so I would at least need an upholsterer to do that..

Any thoughts, have others been in the same position?

I have already ordered a full wood kit which should be ready in a month or so..

Exciting times..

Thanks guys, Paul, the finish is incredible. I too and am a bit cautious of a full retrim as I doubt that the quality of leather is goign to be comparable to what they used 50 years ago..

Thanks, will try but have not yet figured how to upload pictures.... Will look into it over the weekend!

AllezWasps, out of interest, what colour is your interior.. My car was not origially green - but it is now and I was wondering what colour leather was in the green cars.. I believe it was tan - which would be another good reason to re-trim the whole thing..
