Several decades ago he taught me that I should never use new upholstery. The correct way to repair a seat was to sew it up using the original holes.

Absolutely true - along with Mr. Collier. That contribution to the benefit of automotive history alone is worth recognizing.
I did get a chuckle out of your upholstery comment. I took the photo below of the 1927 Mercedes Sportwagen seat which shows the patina of wear.
Another car of original condition was a 1937 BMW 328 that was hidden in Holland under hay during the war. It was rescued with only 15,000km and preserved. The photos don't do it justice.
