1970 Traveller Front Seat Upgrade

I have a late Trafalgar Blue Traveller with a Light Blue interior.

What would be the best type of replacement front seats to use to upgrade that look sensible and are not too expensive.

I would like headrests and them to be adjustable for position. They will have to be able to tip forward to be suitable for the traveller.

Thanks for your help. Stephen.

A few years back I found a set of Metro seats in light blue cloth, with light blue vynil sides and backs. These matched the light blue interior of a trafalgar blue Minor very well and was a good cheap solution.
May be a problem finding a suitable doner car these days, I think it was about a B reg Metro, so a rare car now!
NEwton Commercial will of course supply Metro/Rover based seats trimmed to suit and mounting kits are readily available from various suppliers or easy enough to make.

Newton Commercial will provide complete seats and frames trimmed to match your car. You can even get them heated :-)

May be time for an alternator conversion in that case!
