The deletions/ alterations were introduced piece meal and not all at the same time. There have also been various anomalies where a particular car has for example got the real wood dash whereas others made earlier in the VIN series had the wood lookalike.

Can you post up / PM me the pics then, along with the last numbers of the VIN on those cars with and without? The armrest in my 52 plate Conn SE certainly feels like leather to me, but it's personal line deep sea green, so maybe that stayed leather all the way. |

my ZT has leather interior but there is so much vinyl that it's a bit of a joke really it's pretty much only where you put your back and backside that's leather centre armrest is definitely vinyl. On special colours it will probably be all leather as it wouldn't be cost effective to knock up the 'leather match' vinyl in small quantities

Centre Arm Rest Leather or Vinyl ?
Here you go chaps:
It is not obvious to tell the difference. But it will be in people's mind one they know !! I reckon the leather disappeared around 2002 Reg Leather is from my Sister's Y Reg Connie (chassis number to follow) Vinyl in our Facelift ZT Vinyl in my 54 Reg Monogram V8

More of a leatherette than vinyl surely?
But true - earlier ones have lovely leather arm rests. Mine sadly is a 2002 one with a leatherette arm rests. Going to need to get myself a lovely leather one now!

Thanks for that Jules, it isn't immediately obvious on first glance is it, but I guess the feel of it would give the game away.
When I'm back home on Sunday, I'm going to compare the leather arm rests in my 2002 75 & 2004 ZT. |
