rolyberkin Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I have been looking at the seat covers from Park Lane Classics in leather, anyone have any knowledge of the seat covers and how well they fit, seem good value at £360 a pair, I know I will need to replace the foam on top of this cost etc. KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 KB, Owen's work at Park Lane is highly regarded and very good value. As he does the foams and the covers it's going to be a good fit. I got my foams from him, but unfortunately he only does black leather covers. He has offered to do me a set in chestnut but I'd have to source the hide. This is proving difficult and I can see why he doesn't want to. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Owen supplied me with foams and leather covers. They are the best things I have ever bought for my Spitfire. The fit, the quality, the price, are all first class, but get your order in quick. There is a waiting list and he usually has a shut dowm period in the summer. My praise (and from others) for his work is all over this forum. His stuff is the best. I did have a few problems with the instructions but the quality of his product is renowned worldwide. I intend to get the full interior trim from him when I finally get around to respraying the car. I hope he doesn't retire before them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I'm sure you won't be disappointed - I have Owen's sear covers and foams in my GT6, along with door cards. Great quality. Gully 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to consider also ordering a set of the seat side panels that go in the little pockets which you will find at the bottom of the covers to clip them on to the seat frames: http://www.parklaneclassics.co.uk/product_500-007.htm When I fitted my covers, the side boards in my old seats were shot so I ordered a set from JP which were dreadful quality and didn't fit so I sent them back and made a set from high quality hardboard and the original metal clips. I also recommend getting several metres of pirelli rubberised seat webbing 1.5 inches wide (fleabay has a lot on offer), to replace your old ones which are also probably knackered. You should be able to use the old metal clips. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pirelli-Rubber-Upholstery-Webbing-Ercol-replacement-Webbing-2-or-1-webbing/172263178737?hash=item281baf81f1:m:m58VDgoX4LrXR5VO3mMxngw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolyberkin Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I have ordered everything from Park Park Lane Classics including the boards and straps, didn't want to spend out of leather covers and not do everything properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 I ordered leather seats, door cards rear wheel arch trim and any other vinyl from Owen, top man, top quality, worth the wait. Made my own boards as did badwoolf and replaced the worn out webbing using webbing from skiddaw upholstery reusing the clips adrian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
