Anyone know what car these seats were originally fitted to?

Late 50's early 60's Vauxhall Victor F type...... I think.

I'm pretty sure the F-Type was front bench seat only, and there was never a 'bucket' seat option on them?

The later FB had bucket seat option, and the back rests are similar, but the base squab is the wrong shape for a FB.

That looks like real leather. Would a Victor have come with leather?

My dad had an FB Victor Deluxe back in the 70’s with separate (as opposed to bench) leather seats.

A reverse image search brings up lots of pictures of Lada's!

Thanks for the replies so far. Apparently they have come out of a Triumph 2000 Roadster BUT they are the original seats.
Here’s a photo of the underside of it helps.

Our neighbours had an Black F type Victor back in the day mid 60's , I would regularly get picked up from school in it along with my school mate..... red seats vinyl or leather I can't remember, but they did look like the above seats or very similar.

I'm confused - are you now saying they're from a Triumph Roadster or have you made an error in your post ?

Ah, typo by me. Meant to say "..........BUT they are NOT the original seats."
