It does, and he is keeping them for his replacement 75! I did ask even though it said in his advert they were not or sale

Right, I went to see the car today and got the bits I wanted.

The seats are still available and are as follows:

Drivers is on the right:



I'll post more up later. Just taking the children out for a McDonald's and SWMBO is shouting to go!

They look in good condition.. I'm very interested if the price is right and John does not want them.

Okay, back from McDonalds. Here are some more photos;

Back seat (with mysterious velour rear armrest)

They do need a good clean but would probably come up okay.





There are two small tears, one on front passenger,





And one on the drivers.




The rear of the fronts has velour pockets as shown here



But the original embossed headrests:




This is what they cam out of:




And this is what the seller is driving now:




Let me know if interested now you have seen a bit more detail.

Same for me.

If I was going to consider buying them long distance they would have to be in excellent condition and these are far from that.

thanks for looking.

Hi John,

No problem, as I said I was going anyway and I got the real wood dash I was after plus a few badges. Yes, the velour armrest is odd but I think they will clean up well. The 2 tears are not great but repairable if you know what you are doing.

Anyway, over to you Steven if you are interested. Seller had quoted £75 but is open to offers as he is nearly finished (as you can see from the shell). I can drop you his contact details if you are and would be happy to help if I can. Very genuine seller who just had some bad luck with engines. Gave him a flyer for the club as he has a very tidy Cowley car still.

Derek

Hi Steven

Sorry, you replied whilst I was typing my response to John. No worries as I said, I was going anyway. Yeah, they are not perfect I agree. the velour is a bit "odd". Best of luck with the search.

Regards,

Derek

Those back ones look a little bit crinkly - or is that the norm for saloons?
