Shouldn't we get a rad in the old ambulance first?

Oh good god. They're the exact right colour for my wedge.
All this after I got hold of some blue leather XJS seats too...

Zig, did you enquire as to what the guy was looking for them? It would save me a world of trouble in stiching in some alternative seats.

Hi Mate..If you are talking about the ones on fleabay i didnt bother as i had these ones offered to me ages ago and only just got round to picking them up..Sorry..It looks like no-one has bidded on the ones on fleabay and there is a couple of days left..They are collection in person though..Cheers..Ziga

Yep, this thread made me go and have a look.
I got a pair of blue leather seats out of an XJS at a local breaker as I thought I'd NEVER find some original wedge seats in blue.
Then these turn up!

Leeds is not too far to go for me, just over an hour's journey.

Think I might have to drop the guy a line.

Nice looking seats Ziga, you will have to post some pics when you have them in.
Sweel looking, should look great in the car.

All joking aside, I do have a pair of seats in blue, but they are pretty tatty to be fair.

they are the same colour as the ones in mine.

give me a call tomorrow.

Dammit, this forum is dangerous!

Went and got those blue leather seats from Leeds this morning.
They're a bit worn and tatty, but once I've got some leather restorer on them they should be qiute presentable!

If the foam is in good shape and the leather is a bit tired you could revitalise/colonise it to a better state..The cleaning..Feeding and conditioning of leather can be done relatively cheap and with astonishing results..Small rips and tears can be repaired by a good trimmer for not much money..Dyeing leather has its drawbacks..There are loads of products out there but if you can ask a re-upholsterer for advice on products and techniques then you might be better off..Any pics?..Cheers..Ziga

They'll definately be getting some hide-food, but in places the leather is quite scuffed showing the raw colour of the hide.
The piping is a bit cracked and crazed in places, so I have that to think about
There's a specialists in my area who trim car interiors in leather (mostly cobra replicas) so I may get a quote from them to sort the seats out.
My existing set of seats have good foams, so will probably end up making one good set of seats out of two! We shall see.

Will try and stick some pics up ASAP
