I aim to reupholster them to match the rears, but given that they are a blue-ish sort of pattern, it isn't that obvious that they are at odds with the rest of the interior unless you look closely.
I googled those seats and they look rather appropriate (a couple of used in Morris Minor conversions out there) - I get the impression the built-in headrests arenīt too too intrusive and I imagine the width of the seats suit a narrow car like the PV well.

Have you put any pictures (of this upgrade) on the web?

How did you sort out the mounting points? I assume you were able to use the lower parts of the PV mounts too?
