Hello out there
my gaiter round the gearlever is cracked and split.
I contacted people selling gaiters but they do not have the matching colour.
on the backside of the material are printed numbers, the colourcode for the material I suppose.
does anyone know, where to buy some square feet of the original stuff.

happy for any help, hints
Bernd

Maybe the original manufacturer (or one of their distributors) can help?

if you have big trouble finding some matching material, I think that TVR just used jaguar colours
from the same period. Ambla is just the Wardle Storey name for vinyl (PVC) by the way.

Therefore, you might be able to find an XJ6 or XJ40 in a scrapyard with the same colour trim and take a section out of the seat back to adapt for the TVR.

In UK, I have seen WS vinyl sold on market stalls, probably reject stock. You might find that current stuff is the same colour or near as, as many of the colours in the S-type, X-type and XJ saloon late 90s were carry over colours from the earlier ranges (I used to manage the supply account).

Cheers all
