They look like mid '70's Monte Carlo or Camaro seats without the head rests.

naw, they're no-where near that big. I'm thinking some kind of MG, or similar type car.
I would say boat. Looks like the backs don't move.

They look like they are the same size as the original seats in my A100.... but they look a little plushy for a work truck.....
My two cents.

no, they leaned forward for rear access.
I'm not positive, but they remind me of MG or that type(as I said earlier)from cars my uncle had while I was growing up.
They also sat on slides for adjustment, but they sat really close to the floor.
If they're leather and have horse hair in them I'd take a wild guess and say Mercedes SL.
The bottom part looks a lot like the 600 SEL seats I have in the garage.

no, they're just plain ol' vinyl. these ones are a sorta butterscoth color.
tilt forward backs
slide adjustments
sit real close to floor
they fit my roadster like they were made for it
any more ideas??

Grumpy, they sort of look English to me.
Is that the original upholstery?
What do the slides look like, the springs, etc...

They look like Jaguar but they would be leather if they were, most seats that looked like that were in leather but you're right they do look British, so not sure!

Are they reapolstered or dyed that color? If the pattern is original to them, I'd say a cheaper Italian origan, maybe Fiat 850, not spyder, though.

in the pic, everything is brighter. they are a true butterscotch color. original color and material it looks
we think they may be MG or triumph.
I can't tell ya what the springs or slides look like because they sat so close to the floor and I'm too fat to try and see what was under there!

I seem to remember Triumph 2000TC or 2500PI having seats like that, almost sure of it!
