Just bought myself a Touring, it's got biege leather sports seats
, but they are in need of a little bit of tlc. Anyone got any views on what's the best leather cleaner / restorer to use?

Depends how much you want to do. Gliptone / liquid leather do a good cleaner / conditioner. Alternatively, you can go the whole hog & re-dye them. I had some dye made up from a sample...

Might start with the Gliptone and see how they come up - Hellfords?

sorry to jump in, but could you tell me where you got the dye from (mail order?) ? A friend of mine told me that horse riding shops are a good start in the hunt for different coloured dyes, used for re-colouring the saddles...
Cheers, Guy.
