New Car = New Upholstery needs
I added a pretty 1997 XK8 coupe to the fleet yesterday and I'm suddenly shopping for new leather on the driver's seat. The passenger seat is unworn.
I think someone makes a kit which would be helpful or otherwise a tip for a source of flat leather would be very appreciated as I have a good upholster available to do the work. The B pillar plaque identifies the Paint code as SDN which I think is Topaz and the Trim code as AGD which ("might"???) be Oatmeal.
Can anyone tell me what these codes mean and point me in the right direction? I'd like to buy the matching color obviously.
Thanks in advance

the other kitty is a 1996 XJ6
plus a few others scattered about
including a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

I don't know if you can buy a single seat set from tops on line, but you might contact them and see.
I bought a full front set including the console cover recently and installed it myself. It's not very difficult on the early models, and I was impressed with the quality.
If you are able to buy a single seat set the leather is unlikely to match perfectly.

Check out the link. I haven't used but they claim to use the original mfg of Jaguar leather seats. The color is on the door and if you put your VIN number in on this sites VIN Decoder under the Tools menu it will give you the correct color codes so you can order the right stuff.
