Hi folks, I've noticed that there are some leather seat cover offered at the UK - ebay site: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MGB-BGT-LEATHER-SEAT-COVERS-FULL-KIT-BISCUIT-MG-SALE_W0QQitemZ120236807620QQihZ002QQcategoryZ27380QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Wow! If they're well made, they'd be nice, but keep in mind at current conversion rates that price is 400 U.S. dollars (abour 2 to 1 right now) -- plus additional for shipping. The shipping shown is for the U.K. I think Prestige leather seat covers are probably fairly near these in price, and they're well recommended.

I would not be suprised if they are prestige seat covers. The price is almost identical.

I've heard good things about prestige before,
Does anyone have a link?
If I search on google I get a tidal wave of people calling various parts of their business Prestige

They look like Prestige to me! And by the time you have added shipping, Prestige will be cheaper!

I used Prestige on the GT - the leather seat covers are excellent, and very good value. I can't say the same for their carpet kit, but I will use their seat kit next time I do the roadster!

The Prestige kits have 5 pleats. These have 7. The Moss custom deluxe kits have 6 pleats. That really doesn't matter. They cover the same space but it gives some differentiation to the various vendors.

Thanks folks.
I asked the seller on ebay about these covers and here is his respond to me:
"The seat covers are leather fronts with matching vynil backs,map packets on the back of the seats are not included but can be added for an extra £48.00 on the pair,we know Pretige very well they are a good company and no they are not their trim we manufacturer our own trim".

Sooo- question is if the Prestige covers are all leather, and not leather/vinyl?

The Prestige covers are leather and vinyl not 100% leather

The original "leather" seats also had vinyl backs.
