Hi Dan

Morgan will not supply this leather anymore, too many issues with it, I did ask for it 6 years ago and again last year. It is available elsewhere (Melvyn Rutter for example) but it would be a custom fit.



That is strange that Peter has been told there was issues with that leather; in my experience, it wore very well and actually only looked better with age. Perhaps it is less capable of handling wet weather and stains when it gets wet and is therefore less suitable to an open top vehicle?

There is a long story behind that leather but the short version is that Matt Humphries, who designed the Aeromax, was always on the hunt for interesting leather samples and this was one that he was sent. If I recall correctly, it was actually a furniture leather rather than an automotive one but it was used on Aeromax #94 - so if you ask the factory, I am sure they will be able to confirm the exact supplier and name.

Hope that helps.




Yes it is a furniture leather, I asked for it in my Plus 8 and again in the Plus Six that wasn't to be and this year for in my 3W. Same explanation from the powers that be at MMC, too many warranty issues. I'd thought like you that it would only enhance the look as it wears. I have found it in a Blue as well.
