We have the same problem, first time round we treated it to a full professional valet and it came back like new, sadly due to lack of use in the past few months and cold/damp the mould has returned.

Its a convertible with nice leather trim which I dont want to damage, there are anti mould sprays you get for household use but I dont want to damage the trim on the car.

I had this once. I used a car upholstry cleaner and a lot of elbo grease. I then sprayed one of those A/C cleaners all over the fabric (a fabric safe one - Holts I think) to kill off any spores left over.
