elan with non-leather seats

[veganbuzz]

Hi All,

Am on the lookout for an Elan, and have my beady eye on a couple. The dilema I have (this may sound silly) is that I am looking for one with non-leather seats, as I am vegan, and avoid the use/purchase of all animal products including leather. Unfortunately my desire to get an Elan is conflicting my vegan ethics I guess the best option is to get one and replace the seats, but I just wondered how easy it was to do, and also how easy it was to come by non-leather Elan seats that were easy to swap over?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Brian

Don't forget the standard steering wheel as well. I think these were all leather covered.

[Enright]

And the gear knob.
Anyway how will an Elan help with building a hyperspace bypass, and you're not going to try reading us any poetry are you?

What will you do about those 165 horses under the hood/bonnet?

The Elan doesn't help building the hyperbypass, but the plan is to use them on it (modified to run on vegetables of course No poetry I'm afraid.... for now

Exploit them to their full potential of course

Never mind the leather..........what are you going to use to replace the petroleum products such as engine oil and other lubricants?

They used to be living things too

Funny that, I watched that last night too.

Much better than that American remake crap..


I'm sure someone would like to swap their fabric seats for leather ones.


These are minor issues you have.

I say buy one and fix these minor irritations as soon as you can....

You won't regret it...

[theelanman]

dont forget that the lotus cloth seats are actually half leather..........doh

[johnny]

Dont forget the inside door pouches..

[theelanman]

the pockets themselves are vinyl arent they......door cards are leather (the bit where you put your elbow!!!)

I have a non leather covered wheel for an Elan (SE style from my NA) if you buy an Elan and want to swap the wheel you can have it.

I have a set of half leather seats on the garage after I have swapped for the full fat items. I you get an Elan again happy to swap over.. or even use as a temp if you get yours re-covered in non-animal covers!

Also more than happy to swap cloth door cards for leather items if you want.
