Food for thought. Re: Leather seats in Cobras.

Leather is nice in coupe type cars with heat in the winter, AC in the summer, and never a chance of getting it wet unless you leave the windows open in a thunderstorm. Wet leather is worse than rock chips in paint.

Personally hate vinyl. Butt freezes against it in winter, slides around on it in spring and fall, sticks to it with sweat in summer, burns on first contact if exposed to direct sunlight. Takes forever to dry if it gets wet.

Re-did seats in cloth, with vinyl for trim. Doesn't freeze in winter, don't slide around on it at all, doesn't stick with sweat, and doesn't burn unless you insist on black where your butt hits the seat. Since it's porous, it dries in a few hours if it gets wet. Can be Scotchguarded for stainproofing.

And it's not wildly expensive.

Have cloth seats done in (almost) matching body color, with black vinyl trim. Looks good, feels good. Adds a touch of class.

Wife driving Cobra. The worst that could happen would be to be a two Cobra (his & hers) family. But at least your wife now appreciates and shares your enjoyment of your unique automobile.
