Saloon rear seats into a Tourer
Has anyone ever done this? I know they are very different to each other but can saloon seats be engineered into a tourer? I wouldn't mind if they couldn't be folded. Is it possible to change the leather from the saloon seat to a donor tourer seat? I would really appreciate some advice with this.

In short "NO" However the base from memory would virtually slot straight in. Consider the idea that the saloon seat backreast is a one piece affair opposed to the tourer 60/40 split design and houses many differences in terms of hinge and locking mechanicals. Sorry to be fairly blunt about this, but hopefully saves you getting too enthusiastic about such idea.

Of course if this is going to be ridiculously expensive and not look "factory " then I will put the aubergine interior in my saloon. I can get a complete set of Ash grey tourer seats locally for my tourer. On this forum there are many people who have a massive knowledge of these lovely old motors. I am hoping someone can help me create a really special car. My tourer has been painted in Duotone royal blue and blackberry. Admittedly it is not a genuine factory Duotone but whoever did it ( and I think it was a forum member!) did a really good job. It looks fantastic and was probably inspired by the V8 tourer shown in the many colours post. Mechanically and externally it's a great car. It would look amazing with an aubergine interior. |
