Wanted for my 1987 Excel SE

A pair of Cream Leather Front & Rear Seats or any combination of these.
If I could get a good condition Rear Seat then that too would be good.
Run anything you may have past me.
Any Condition Considered.
Thanks in advance

Hi Fellow Members,

I am still looking for a pair of Cream Leather Front & Rear Seats or any combination of these.

Hope you get what you want but they rarely come up and if they do it will over 4 figures.

LotusBits have a container full of old Lotus seats. Mostly fairly crummy. Still, it may be worth a rummage if you can make it over there. I had a rifle through when I broke the drivers' seat frame on my car, I found one with the wrong (and worn) fabric but I mixed and matched the best bits from my seat and this one to make a good one.

Or get your seats re-covered. I found a nice bloke near Leicester who did mine, £1350 for the labour to do all 4 seats, I provided the fabric and leather (my seats are not full leather). See this thread.

Thanks for that.
I am aware of LotusBits and I think this may be my best option to get the front seats. Sadly, I cant just pop round to see them as I live in Kent and they are up near Coventry.
My Excel has MX5 front seats and the previous owner gave away the original front seats!
Once I get the frames they will need re-covering in leather. The work that your guy in Leicester has done looks exceptionally good. Very keen hourly rate too.
I will keep you informed.
Best wishes and thanks again,
Valley Boy

I had thought of XJS seats - I think this has been noted on this Forum.
Trying to find a half decent pair is the challenge.
I am on the lookout for a pair via as many avenues I can think of tho.
Thanks for your thoughts.
