Mine are probably original 18/85 rather than retrimmed then. Only experience is of the two cars I've shown. The brown seats look to be to the same standard as mine which I thought were a good DIY job rather than Leylands finest!
I'm quite happy with them really as the vynil seems to be much harder wearing than the nylon cloth it should have which presumably is why they were changed at some point...

The cloth seats were certainly one of the weak-points on the Six. Quite why they didn't trim them in leather as befits a Wolseley .....[frame]Image[/frame]
