Those seats are very nice but new MX seat covers can't cost nearly a grand can they? Or do you mean re-trimming a pair of MX5 seats in leather?

I re-trimmed the seats.
At least 2x / year there is a 10% discount weekend (Easter, Christmas, etc.), so if its not urgent, you can wait for this.

My seats from Robin at intatrim are due to be delivered in the new year..they’re the voyager and cost £1143.

Leather and Alcantara..no head rests..here’s my design

I recolour / recondition MX5 seats as a hobby, as well as other makes. However I don’t let in new leather - if the seats are that bad I won’t touch them. I have a pair of Mark 2 seats with separate headrests in Jaguar Saville grey at the moment. I am just finishing a pair of red Mark1 tombstones with speakers. I have a similar tan pair waiting restoration as well as two pairs of Mark2.5 tombstones. It is relatively straightforward to change the colour of leather. Happy to advise as I have lots of experience with these seats.

What does "However I don’t let in new leather..." mean?

[TurboTony]

It means that I don’t sew in any replacement panels

Mine have been completed..should be delivered by end of the week..my design/colour scheme won’t be for everyone but the good thing is..intatrim will make it to any design that you want..at around £1.2k for 2 seats is vfm..to me anyway..obviously you could just go for the seats without piping/eyelets/real leather etc and easily get the cost below £1k

Fair value for money compared to re-furbishing and re-trimming an original pair.

I don't envy you keeping them clean, but they look fantastic.

Thank you to all for your ideas and suggestions, through Pistonheads and this forum I have managed to locate a pair of MX5 seats from a fellow TVR owner which are no longer needed https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/10.gif
