Who has a different manufacturer's seats in their car?

I have tried several times to get replacement seats via flea bay but due to the colour of mine (biscuit) the price always goes to a level approaching the price where I can get mine remade and recovered for. I am bidding on the chimaera set today so may still be lucky.

However, I rally liked the look of Barkychocs XJS Coupe ones and hence would like to see what else is known to fit.

So here goes - who has what? scratchchin

Cheers

Note the XJS coupe seats do fit but they are tight.
I haven't fully fitted them yet but am going to have to change the seatbelt stalk for the type with a flat metal strip as there isn't room for the original cable type down the side of the seat.
Otherwise they are awesome, really comfortable and top quality coming from a jag. I think they may be available in biscuit will check shortly.
Many of the TVR interior colours are Jag colours.

Jaguar have a colour called biscuit - the trim code is ADE.
There's no guarantee it will be the same colour but judging by my match there's a fair chance.
You have a more reasonable chance than you think of picking up some seats - from the research I've done the door cards and carpets on jags suffer badly due to water leaks, leaving the seats in good condition smile

Remember they MUST be coupe seats - there is an XJS saloon aswell and they are really wide.
