Honestly... "The previous owner was that meticulous, he explained he was the only person who had ever driven the car, and hadn't even let anyone else occupy the driver's seat in case they would mark the leather. He explained that he would have carefully lifted himself up over the bolster so as to not cause any undue pressure that would mark or weaken the bolster."

Are there any screw holes in the door frame for the hoist he used to get over the bolster?

I tend not to 'flop' into the seat too hard or fall out of it, but that's because my bolster is already a bit worn and there's no point aggravating it. But that's just common sense. Why draw specific attention to it?

Not normal behaviour for sure. But, that having been said, when buying a used car, I'm all for cars that have previously been owned by OCD types!

I don't let anyone else so much as look at my car - lest they damage the paintwork by resting their eyes on it.

The GF sits on the bolster as she gets out. That evidence will feature in the murder trial.

Try owning a Z1. Not an easy car to get in and out of, and it's virtually impossible to stop passengers (especially the heavier ones) sitting on the door itself as they get in and out, which cannot be good for it. At least I quickly managed to train my GF not to swipe the top of the door or the dashboard with her heels when getting in and out...
