Porsche Leather Refinished To Original Colour

Porsche

A client recently bough this Porsche to add to his collection of classic cars, but as per usual, the leather was looking a little worse for wear.

Here are some photos he sent me ...

If may be a little difficult to see in this photo but someone has had a go a spraying the seats which didn't match too well with the side panels.

The spray on the seats had stiffen them quite considerably and was showing crack lines in the creases ...

This door panel is a good example of how much the leather had lost its colour ...

Once the old finish had been stripped off, the original leather was fairly sound and looked really good when finished ...

And, the finished passenger seat...

When the trim was reinstalled into the car, my client sent me these pictures ... he was really chuffed!
