Well, after 6 hours of trawling various scrappies around central scotland, I eventually got a pair of Recaros from a mates garage 8miles from my house!
Not leather but better than the plastic i'm sitting on now.
No pics for you. going to do a before and after of the whole once an interior is sorted.
The interior will probably upset the purists (sorry Andy). I'm fed up not having one and waiting for one to come up so am looking at fashioning something temp. Had a couple of ideas from looking at various motors at the scrappies.
Question for everyone tho, what would you want on door cards, centre consol, tunnel cover. Remember it is only temp tho, so not spending loads on this. The search for a correct interior will continue....

Good luck they pop up now and then but seem to be few and far between. Carob got one refurbished and it came out gorgeous so poor coverings can be sorted. Its all about finding one.

I just went the easy way. I find the original seats comfortable, so no reason to change.

So I had the TVR seats reupholstered in a camel color. The door cards, the inside of the hard top, and in fact pretty much everything else dome in the same material; except the top fascia, which I wanted in black. Instead of the veneer I am simply glueing the same camel material and trimming it to suit. The metal strip on the door cards is trimmed in the matte black, as is a piece below the windscreen, which is almost hidden, but not quite.

Wilf.

There was a blue wedge on eBay for spares and repair a few weeks ago that didn't sell.
His eBay name was Ppqqnike might be worth asking him if he will sell ya the bits you need.
The interior looked pretty good!

If ya can't find it I still have it in my watched items I can ask the question for you if you like?

Getting there Marcus. Have to agree with Cammy, the seats in his SEAC are very comfy indeed.

Looking forward to seeing it finished at the RNR.

I have most of an interior for a fhc, no seats or front console but more or less everything else. Dark blue in colour.Bought as I mistakenly believed I could mix and match with my dhc.

Unfortunately I live in salisbury but it appears to be all the bit missing from yours. I'll dig out some pics for you if you like.

That would be great Rich. i have no original interior at all (orher than dash)so anything would be great. I'll probably stick with the recaros as they are pretty comfy.
the things that annoyed me most was the door cards and the centre tunnel trim.
