Looks great that John!

I've spoken to Buffalo and they think its possible to repair this damage.
I'm thinking it might be worth having a go for £30 and if it doesn't work out with the filler and colouring then I'll give it to the professionals.
They say its difficult to colour match greys so if I can find a sample of the material to send them they will colour match it.
Not sure that's going to be easy either.
Unless of course someone out there has a good condition grey leather seat with lightning fabric inserts in their garage that they just happen to want to sell. I can then replace the existing seat .

Which seat? 3 door?

Postscript. Just worked it out - you need driver's seat for 5 door. Sorry, can't help then.

John would you provide a link for the precise kit you've used? I can't find any of that kind with all the toys to do the trick from the beginning.
Thanks a lot.

It was a few years ago but I think it was this - https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/leath ... repair-kit The packaging has changed but the constituent parts looks familiar.

Thank you John for your wise advice. I've ordered two kits, nobody knows.
My leather seats (214 cab & 75 V6) are rather nice for their age but the driver's ones as expected which have a few scuffs / faint furrows on the outer edge.
Not that serious or noteworthy but if it can be better I'll take it.
EDIT: to clean & nurture the leather I'm using both Gliptone leather cleaner & conditioner so far.
