I picked these up from Liverpool last week:
They are P5 but are to replace my 110's front seats as they're the same bar these being recliners which was optional on the P4. You just don't see them in respectable condition normally but I saw these on fleabay in March almost as soon as they appeared, buy-it-now for £90. I didn't hesitate for long as we were heading for Chester last weekend anyway so I knew I could get them without too much hassle (I also collected an unused 2200 three-row radiator for Bruiser with thermo-switch fitted, buy-it-now in February for £80. That came from Rugeley. Along with an old cast-iron water pump for the garden from Alfreton & we visited Rockdemon to boot. ).
The guy was planning on making them into chairs for his office but never got round to it & has just been storing them in his unit. They're dirty but the leather is mostly intact, on a par with my seats when I bought the car but which two years of daily use destroyed. So any tips, advice, recommendations & links to your posts on seat renovation will be much appreciated. They're to be re-coloured in Tan.
Thanks chaps.
