So a left seat. Ok.
I thought you want a comfort. The shown one is a sports replika.

BF Torino won’t supply direct to the U.K., you have to go via Mark

OMP and Corbeau also make some classic looking seats?

Both of those are too deep at the sides, it's getting out that is becoming the prob.
The B80 seats are low in the side bolster area, so ideal.

Will contact Mark, see if he remembers me from all those years ago!

Mark has come back, they cannot supply just one seat, only sets.
So, back to the start.

Why not just cut down the LH side cushion on your existing seat, and have it exactly tailored to Mrs. Hillclimber’s requirements? You know she’s worth it!

How about something like this ?

I know it's theoretically a driver's seat but shouldn't matter ...

Thanks both.
She is definitely worth it!

I want to sell the pair of nicely patina'd seats I have (good colour fade to the cord centres), so need to keep them intact!

The taxi seat does look good, but used (tired?). I want to avoid any re-upholstery.

All sounds picky, but want the max effect for the £.

Max effect is a pair of the BF Torino sports seats. You won’t regret it as it’s a lovely upgrade for the car.

If you’d like to borrow one as a test let me know and I’ll rescue it from upstairs in my house (big building work going on!) I don’t need it for a while!

Send me a message :)
