vinyl was not a later development (it was around before WWII) and "leatherette" is marketing speak for vinyl. BUT for 22nd series convertibles I agree the seat choices were leather or leather and bedford cord (a rather bumpier version than the prewar closed car option). The wiped grain trim on the lower door panels of 22nd juniors is vinyl. Was the leather and cord an option only on Customs or on Super 8's also?

It's your car, but I would think several times about the white top and seats - it's pretty obviously non-authentic. Do it if you like it enough to accept the impact on resale.
