I recently purchased a 2000 4.0 S Type that is is fairly remarkable condition. Cosmetically and mechanically spot on, except for some minor wear on the driver's side seat bolster from the PO entering and exiting the vehicle. A common wear point on the Connolly. I would like to restore this area of the seat and know what to purchase in order to do it, but I am a little confused as to the actual color of my interior. I had assumed that the seats were ivory, but after holding a sample from a Jaguar card next to my seats, the the Jaguar sample seems more gray in comparison, but it's close and I can't tell if my eyes are playing tricks on me or what. Could my leather be almond, or some other color that was offered in 2000 that I'm not aware of? The interior trim appears to be cashmere, if that makes any difference. Any assistance appreciated. I'm trying to come up with a close color match so the leather colorant will be the correct color. My only option at this point, is to cut off one of the airbag tags on the passenger or driver's door, to submit that as a color sample, but I'd really rather not do that if at all possible.
