Hey Nicholas
Thanks for those links. I have seen them but am still unsure. I have every reason to suspect that the seats and the interior in my car are the original. I did see on one of the technical posts that the blue highlight may have been an option. I am hoping for some other replies and maybe a photo or two.

If you tilt the seat back forward what colour is the material that never normally sees the light? (sandwiched between the base and backrest)

Hey
That was a great suggestion. I had not thought to look there. I dug the back seat out and took this picture
and, yes, there is red in there, not really a bright red but one that would be consistent with the cognac outside colour. I guess the red fades to blue/grey in the sunlight, especially after so many years.
Now all I have to do is find some material.
Thanks very much for the suggestion.
