You are very unlikely to find secondhand S seats, so (if you want to retain the original type), your best bet is to find a friendly local trimmer and get them repaired and re-upholstered. If it's an early car, the seats should be pretty tired by now anyway.

I had the same problem and bought a pair of Griff seats from a breakers for £180. Remove the adapter brackets & they fit perfectly.
