Patience is your friend, also going to the larger rallies.
Post some pictures of your seats here too, someone may have what you need for not too much money.

Chances of finding good second hand seats that are now at least 60 years old are slim, but you never know your luck. I did get a set through the messageboard from a gent who was renewing his because the door trims were bad!

Newton Commercial are the main makers of the proper style of seat

If you know someone handy with a sewing machine. It's not too hard to unpick the tatty original ones and use them as templates for a new set. You can get good quality heavy duty vinyl from the internet/markets.

Many of us one here have done this, as a new set usually requires enlarging the mortgage! :D

yes i totally agree :) i have just coaxed my sister into making them for me, picked out some vinyl leather (turquoise) and have started to strip down one of the front seats to make a pattern so i know how much materials to order :)
