It was a money saving option not to have the leather seats, It looks a beauty, Love cavs in Diamond black.

I have been considering what to do with the interior, but have decided to stick with the Ablany Cloth...It was only available on the turbos and the seats match the door cards....The majority of turbos had leather and many people have replaced cloth with leather, so as the numbers dwindle, it's actually rarer to find one with it's standard trim.

Id keep the cloth, its unusual and as you said rare, and most of the turbo leathers arnt in the greatest of conditions anyway.

It didn't come with it as standard and having had a turbo with leather, I can't say I'll miss the cold in the winter and the burning hot in the summer..lol

I am in the process of stripping it down to see what it's like deep down and then I'll know if it needs a full refurb.
