Can you fellow V8 owners do me a quick fave?

Check the leather of your seats, next to where the handbreak is. And let me know if the leather has suffered from being so close the the Handbreak mechanism?

I have pics from 3 cars where the leather is scratched, but would like to get a wider sample.

Thx

Looked at a Jan 06 car at a dealer yesterday with only 2500 miles. Was a little surprised to notice that the leather was scratched on the side of the seat bolster near to the handbrake grip. Also, had a few scuffs on the side of the drivers seatback bolster. Rather more than expected for such a low mileage car.
