    I am going to do some interior cosmetics as the passenger seat is starting to show some wear. I have the Daytona style seats, so I am looking to match up what I have.

    My local installer has no problem doing the seats, but he cannot find the matching leather. I thought GAAH would have it but he says no. It is crema with black Daytona inserts.

    Does anyone have a lead on where I can get the matching covers? Seat bottom for sure, might also do the seat back depending on how well things match up.

    Regards,
    Jerry

    You're looking for the Connelly leather? You can contact them directly to find correct colour and distributor...
    Vaumol - CONNOLLY

    Thanks Dave. I am not sure if it is Connolly or not. A prior owner did the seat upgrade to Daytona style, but I will check out your link. Thanks.

    No problem. OEM is Connelly but I guess that doesn't apply...maybe?

    Either way, Connelly will send you samples if you email them. Their standard Vaumol range on offer is for older cars, up to 1970. But some of the colours carry over (my car built in 1983 still has VM3171-Red, for example). If you give them the year and send them pics they can likely help figure out a matching hide for you. They were very helpful when I contacted them.

    Happy hunting!

    @ Dave and Jurgen:

    Thanks guys. I am in contact with the companies and they will either send swatches or I will cut a small piece out from under the seat and sent to them to match.

    @petrolhead

    No need to change the Prugna color on the exterior! :)

    Regards,
    Jerry

    Great to hear from you. Thanks for checking in!!

    This is great info, I will follow up on Monday. It will be a lot easier to go to the guy who did it originally than track down matching leather.

    I have enjoyed the car and have done my best to take care of her (as promised!!!). I have made a few tasteful upgrades (period correct radio) including a 1 inch spacer on the steering wheel to make it a little more comfortable. We also tuned the MAF's which were a bit off, and put in some Redline tranny fluid to help the old 2nd gear cold shift.

    She runs great!!

    Best Regards,
    Jerry

    Super. I wanted the right guy to end up with that car back so many years ago. Looks like the car got a great home as expected. It really treated me well and seems to have continued that trend. Viva Mondial!
