Vinyl upholstery material source?

["Mark Hershey" <dmcinfo@xxxx>]

I've lately been replacing parts of my Texas sun-baked interior (some pieces
for the second time) but am rapidly running out of the kind of cash it takes
to do it with totally original parts.

Has anyone located a source for the wrinkled-leather look vinyl used on the
upper door panels and knee pads? I know it was made by a subsidiary of ICI
(plastics, paints, etc., www.ici.com) since the ICI logo is printed all over
the back side of the upholstery fabric. Somewhere along the line they must
have sold off that division.

I replaced the top piece of the console by carefully unstitching the old,
cracked piece and hand stitching in a piece cut from the front edge piece of
my long-retired first set of seat covers--exact match of course since it is
the same material. And there was enough left over to recover one of the thin
door trim pieces.

But there's not much I can do about the door panels although I did vacuum
out the old foam (more like dust after all these years) and replaced with
1/4" headliner foam to plump them up a bit between the vertical stitches .
Look original, but there are still small cracks along the upper edge next to
the glass and I'd like to make new covers.

There are LOTS of upholstery companies that carry bulk vinyl for domestic
and import cars but I've found none that cross reference De Lorean.

Does anyone know whether any other car used the same vinyl texture/style?
Which one(s)
