There is a red V reg 800 2 door Stirling in the scrap yard local to me. Seems mostly intact. Forgot to get a picture!

Probably binned for engine failure if it's a KV6.

It would be handy to know location and any picfotos. On the lookout for a grey leather drivers coupe chair. The one I have has burst at the seam and no amount of scrubbing with leather polish will remove the cracks in the leather.

Leather polish usually only cleans the leather, try feeding it with some quality leather balm/hide food to soften it up or one of the leather repair kits from Gliptone :

https://www.liquidleather.com/

They've been running an ad for what seems like decades showing a Mk2 Jaguar seat, all cracked and crazed on one side, on the other it looks new and beautiful with no cracks or anything. I'm not saying it does exactly what it says on the ad but it's been running long enough that if it didn't they would be bankrupt by now so i'd say it's fair to assume it does a pretty good job.

Alternatively if you don't mind recolouring from Stone Beige to whichever shade of grey you have then i have some early coupé leather front seat covers.
Cheers,
Dave
