Firstly great for posting👍

Hi,
This project is still going forward, fitting petrol tank and locating filter and fuel pump at the moment ....

We are ordering a pair of seats tomorrow - then we can position the pedal box and sort the brakes and clutch ....going for Cobra Monaco Pro's - black vinyl red stitching, using vinyl as opposed to cloth as if they get wet should dry quicker...(I have no roof at the mo)
I want to get them embroidered with the "Tuscan Challenge" logo in the headrests ....
I need a PDF for this, have spoken with Jon (online design) he doesn't have one, neither does Graham Walden ....
Anyone have a copy I could use?
Thanks in advance ....
Steve. G.

This. I bought a monaco pro for my Tuscan but had to sell it as it didn't fit! Ended up going for a Kirky..

That's it then Nick, will not order until I have tried one....especially as they will be bespoke to the car....
Thanks

Hi,
Got another problem want to get the "TVR Tuscan Challenge" logo embroidered in the back of the seats,
Cobra have said that they can't do this without written permission on the logo owner ....who is this?
TVR?
JR?
TVRCC?

Does anyone know?

Streve.G.

P.S. I have just got back from the NEC setting up the TVRCC stand, if anyone wants to come along and say hello I will be there throughout....be aware I will get my mobile out and make you glaze over with images of what this build has been!!!
I will make sure your have a cuppa and slice of cake ....

Hi Steve!
Sorry I am of no help, but like your idea very much.
I would be very interested in "TVR Tuscan Challenge" patches.
