What a tobacco leather should look like, in my experience:



Still, a poor choice for a grey car. Might have looked better with the original Bronzo metallic, who knows?

The body shop bill for that Islero illustrates one reason I don't want an old car of that vintage anymore. A bill of that size indicates that the car probably had a bunch of electolytic corrosion, between the steel framework of the chassis and the aluminum body panels. An Lp400 would have less of that, and a TR even less, but it's always a possibility in any car with an aluminum body that has steel underpinnings. Cars like the Audi A8 are all aluminum, for the most part, so suffer from it less. Of course, they are better built and better protected from corrosion than anything made in Italy, because they were designed and built by Germans...
