MG TD TF 1500 - Seat upholstery kit for TD

Looking at the possibility of buying a new upholstery seat kit. Other than Moss Motors or Little British Car Company does anyone know of any other suppliers or manufactures who can supply these.
Any help appreciated.

I have been very happy with the interior kit I purchased for the TF from Abingdon Spares. I purchased an interior from Moss for the TC and was less than impressed with the quality of the leather.

John-
I have heard that Heritage Upholstery supplies a good product and they seem to have an excellent satisfaction guarantee.

I have never used them myself so have no direct experience, but maybe someone can provide more info.

I have experience with the Heritage seat and panel kits, and have found them to be outstanding as advertised. A friend of mine recently had Heritage upholster his MGA seats in a dark blue and received lovely concours quality seats. Also, if you choose Heritage, my experience is that it will likely take much longer for them to deliver the kit than the estimate. Nevertheless, I'm considering having Heritage provide seat covers and a panel kit for my TF restoration. They recently provided me with samples which I find very pleasing.

In addition, I have seen a PJM Motors interior kit installed in an MGB and thought it of high quality -- close to the Heritage product. I suggested PJM to a friend who is restoring her 1956 MGA and she just received a PJM carpet kit in wool--its of excellent quality, seemingly equal to the Heritage carpet. Yet, the main footwell carpet edges are completely bound. This will yield a very nice finished appearance but the original carpet was mostly unbound. For my TF, I am awaiting samples of PJM's magnolia leather and vinyl before deciding on PJM or Heritage. I will also be assessing the completeness of the PJM panel kit before making a decision.

I have read the Collingburn brothers produce a superior product for T series cars. Initially, I thought I would have them supply my TF interior. However, James Collingburn advised me recently it would likely take at least 2 years before they might deliver and even at that, said they could not really estimate how long the wait might be--they are not working on a schedule. I have ordered a carpet kit for my TF from them based on their statement last fall the carpet would be cut early in 2015, but the last email I received a month ago stated it is now not possible to estimate a delivery date on the carpet kit.

I have a Moss interior in my TD. The interior was purchased by the prior owner perhaps 12 years ago, and installed, but the car was not made road worthy. The red leather seats still look terrific and fresh, but they have not yet been used so I can't say how well they will hold up.

I believe its very important for you to order samples of the leather in your color(s) of choice so you can see the color, feel the surface, and judge the overall quality of at least a small piece of the product.
