After 72 years and over 350,000 miles, my TF seats need to be replaced. Its in my budget for late this year. But in th meantime, if someone has a pair of used TF seat covers - any coulour (ex black), I would be happy to pay any sensible price. I pay shipping to up-state NY.

Bob (?) - very helpful link, thank you and Chris. I'm warming to the idea of getting colour-matched piping made up. I'd forgotten how valuable Chris' website is for checking detail - I know I'll be going back to it frequently as the renovation progresses. John.
PS Where in Vic., R.E.J.?

Have you read the letter from Healey to Starmer?
