Fund Man ,
Bristol Elephany Grey used on 408s is
Connolly VM3417 (Vaumol Luxan )
I've been told Connolly will produce hides to order and can match to VM3417.

There are a few issues to consider of colour , grain , texture and type of process used when selecting a suitable leather.
Most modern leathers produced do not match the Vamol Luxan .

Both of my 400's have been retrimmed in Connolly Leather matched to the original . It was expensive at the time but in the long term satisfying when I see other 400's using modern leather that looks totally out of place .
