70 series half leather?

[Hallsy]

Could anyone who has half leather in a 70 series tell me how much is leather and how much is cloth/velour?

I've seen some pictures but can never quite make it out properly, it seems to have more leather than the 850 half leather, but seems a little random. Is the material a velour?

Even better, if anyone has some decent pics of a half leather interior.

Also, with this option, would the dash or door cards have been different to a full leather interior - beige if it matters.

Cheers :)

I can get you a pic of the seat tomorrow but this will be for a 1998 70 series though,

This one is from a '97 V70 in beige.

It is described as half leather, half suede, but I'm not convinced it's suede. More like velour, just can't see very well from pics.

Would be great to see a pic of yours. Cheers :)

Well mine is more like the Alcantara that was in the R, it defiinitely isn't material,

Oh right, so is the non R half leather very similar to the R half leather?

I'd have assumed that the R half leather was a higher quality than the (presumably) cheaper non-R half leather. I mjst admit though I did have another look around last night and found some pictures of a beige half leather interior that did look more suede/alcantara like.

My R has an alcantara/suede pattern down the middle and leather everywhere else.

Pandamedic - Thanks very much for that, definately more leather involved than the 850 half leather. Quite like that :)

The R is more conventional half leather for me (leather bolsters, material centres), it is a strange layout on the non-R half leather but I quite like the design.

Cheers guys.

my old car had all leather seats once and flourescent jackets dont go well!

My old car had covert blues when i was on call, and lets just say leather seats that have just been cleaned and a waterproof jackets makes it very slippy to sit in the seat when you go round corners fast, so much so you may end up in the passenger side!
