Having acquired one original low back seat I need to make a copy. The seat I have is in good condition so am a tad reluctant to take it apart to make a mould and get them both re-trimmed. Does anyone have a mould or another low back seat that they want to part with?

This is the type of seat fitted to my car:

I'm also looking for the paint code for the Dark Green used on early Vixens I believe the original TVR name was either Sherwood Green or Aquatic Jade.

thanks in advance

The seat is from an early series 2 Vixen. This is the same type of seat that it had in all the press shots.

Regarding the colour this is the original green (excuse the poor cut & paste!):

Andrew, I emailed you about your seats, but missed out on them as you had already sold them. Thought they were £600 fully re-trimmed, not that it makes any difference now.

Interested who the little birdie is as not much progress apart from gathering parts and info re paint codes etc. I have now managed to get the engine running (having rebuilt the carbs) and it is showing good compression. Shouldn't need anything else apart from a good clean, flush of the waterways and fresh oil etc. Still need to identify brake master cylinder as the piston is totally seized.
