People normally use Sapph rear bench material if they don't get a specialist trimmer to do the whole lot.

As Shawn said - the only Escort / Orion that came with leather was the all blue Cab (which was half leather) and the Orion 2000E. Best off getting the lot retrimmed mate so it all matches. Not silly money either, £600 should see the lot done.

Been told my leather was offered as a option when new.

Not from factory, but a few dealers offered this (Also black) leather as a option for RST buyers back then.






Cheers

Got mine s/h off a mate of Dave (Twins) think for £400 nicka'

Seen a few other identical trims (mostly Black) and most agree was a dealer option fitted from new so sure it's true.

Deffo' prefer full leather rather than half-trim.

Phone 'round and get a few quotes, a good re-trim will go 'bout £600+

Depends on the look you are going for and which you prefer - it's your car and that's what matters.
Here's the trim I had in my S2.

1600E seats are exactly the same as all-blue ones but without the blue and red stripes. They even have the tilt forward knobs on them, despite being fitted on a four door saloon.
