Hi all,

I'm looking at buying an old Rangie that needs tlc on the leather front.

What are your recommendations?

I don't care about the leather smell, but it needs to restore colour, nourish the leather so it doesn't dry and crack and last the test of time, as I don't want to do anything t again for a good year or so.

Thanks :-)

Give it a couple of weeks. The leather will be the least of your problems.

If leather has become very dry, close to cardboard, neatsfoot oil is a good and cheap treatment. It requires a lot less effort than most of the branded products and often (but not always) penetrates past the sealant coatings. If the leather hasn't recovered after a couple of coats on the outside surface, and if you have the energy, take the covers off and apply a small amount on the reverse.
