Congratulations on joining the world of masochistic British sports car 
owners! (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,
