yes i did :-) but i already have a full set of leather slip overs in tan from the silver car i bought.

Ive washed them and just need to dye them black as Alistair has done with his interior. it includes the console lid cover, but mine is still in perfect factory black nick :-)

i did see that he has two black handbrake boots at different prices... fake and real leather perhaps?

That ebay item is for the LHD SC300/400 It's opposite to our RHD Toyota Soarer's. It'll be the wrong way around.

Look at the picture, and then visualize it on your handbrake, Its the wrong way around, won't fit.

Of course it will fit. unless they have a seem down one side that normally wouldn't be seen, then there's no issue....

one side is longer than the other. the picture shows right hand drive. i didnt end up getting this as the seller doesnt accept echeque paypal payment.

he ships them around the world. i doubt he would ship LHD only boots. same template just flipped, specify before ordering.

A Handbrake boot for a LHD SC Won't fit a RHD Soarer , as walter said, one side is longer than the other.

It would probably slip over, but the long side will be facing the centre console and you would still see the metal part of the hand brake.

The actual image of the ebay item (at the top near the price) shows a LHD boot, and the image in the item description shows a RHD boot.

I would message the seller to confirm, because if it's the boot that's in the top picture, it wont fit our RHD's.

I thought that it would be obvious from looking at the pictures.

Thanks guys, ive already been intouch and stated it was for a RHD model to which they said no problem. I have a company here in the UK that makes them in real leather, I just wanted to see the quality of these to see if the real leather was worth twice the price!!
