Hi Adam,
The s type had a facelift in 2003/2004 and the mesh girl was fitted instead of the Waterfall, as they call it.. My car is one of the last s types to be made and the first owner had an impressive list of optional extras fitted by the factory, which included a "proper" spare wheel, and the option trim of Dove Grey.
When you are a pensioner you can give the car little more attention, and I refurbished the seats a couple of weeks ago. A couple of hours work!
Regards,
Peter.
