Frosts have some spray on stuff which may help - colour restorer. Its not Halfords vinyl paint, it etches into the vinyl. They do colour matching, bu you need to send a chunk of your existing material, which may prove tricky.

For the leather of my interior I used some Neatsfoot oil and some Saddlesoap, both bought from the local agricultural store. 100% brilliant results afterall a seat's only a glorified saddle

Cheers

Check out Gliptone. Best of the lot when tested by classic car mag. Smells of leather too!
The also do a vinyl reviver but I've not tried it.
