Its draughty without any and I don't really want to spend £160/side for genuine Porsche ones.
Options so far appear to be in no particular order...

Door Seal Recommendations
Re: Door Seal Recommendations
Hi.
I started with the flap type ones which are supposed to be correct but the wind noise was awful! Replaced them with the later type from roger brays about £20 if I remember. No more leaks or noise now. Hope this helps.
Cheers rob.

Re: Door Seal Recommendations
Hi Ollie,
As per Rob's comment, general consensus is that the flap type, although indeed 'period correct' for an early car, are no good at keeping the wind out. I've tried them before and never got on well with them. They can be improved with a lot of attention to the adjustment of the window frame position and angle and some bolstering around the A-pillar area, but for a better seal from the outset any of the later-type, closed-form, hollow section will work better. Aftermarket ones are fine and a lot cheaper than OE.
Regards,
Mike.
