Interior - leather?

[dancroft1984]

Hi all,
I don't mean the seats, I mean the wrapping on the tunnel, sash, cabin sides etc. on a 1985 older boxy-dash Excel (I have cloth seats with what I believe are leather panels on the sides?)

Is it all leather? Not some sort of leatherette/vinyl wrap or similar? Mine's faded and worn so I just want to make sure I do the right thing when I'm trying to bring it back to life. There's other aread with pretty bad damage so ultimately some bits will get replaced, but if I can make it as nice as I can for now, then why not?

The photograph definitely looks like leather. By 1985 Connolly had changed to a non-porous paint finish on the leather so you can't "feed" it very well from the painted side, but it will re-paint if the right prep is done. Tony - MetBlue - has good experience of re-colouring leather - I'm sure he'll be along shortly!
