(Or, as a friend of mine puts it: "I own a Jag. But, if I wanted to keep it on the road all the time, I should own two.") The first thing I recommend you do is buy the book "E Type: End of an Era", if you don't already have it. This excellent book was written by a true lover of the car, and has a seemingly endless supply of trivia and hints. As regards your specific question about old leather, the best thing to use is Neat's Foot Oil. Rub quite a bit of it into a cloth, and just soak it into the leather. Chances are you can soak up quite a bit of it. If you can arrange it, bind a well-soaked cloth to the leather overnight. It will bring back the original suppleness like nothing else. For cleaning the leather, use saddle soap. Enjoy! Cheers, Chris Kent Digital Equipment Corp.
