Elan M100 Leather seats

[jdey]

I've got the grey with red stripe seats. The passenger seat is scuffed but the driver's seat stitching has come apart in the middle. I've read that I can probably restore the passenger seat to a good condition using woolie's leather restorer.

Does anybody know, however:-

1. How much it should cost to repair/replace the leather on the driver's seat.

2. Any good leather restorers in the London area.

Cheers,
J

Not London but, £360 per seat at Hethel.

£360 at hethel is per seat and a complete rebuild isnt it?????
mine are not ripped and the stitching is still very good...they just need the colour putting back in them......I was going for the leather dye but I'm not sure about what type to use...
cheers

Hi,

has performed seats retrim service for a 1991 Elan previously.

Recently, he told me that

We can build you our Premium leather interior kit for your Lotus Elan
bucket seats for $599.00 + shipping. Our Premium kit is a combination
of leather and matching vinyl... specifically the seating surfaces are
all leather and the sides and backs of the seats are a matching vinyl.
If you want to do a kit in 100% leather the price would be $749.00 +
shipping.

I also attached the work he had done below....

Seems like reasonable pricing, I paid about the same maybe 6 years ago (?) for a custom design in full leather - Both seats and door cards.
