long shot i know!! but im after a pair of front amazon seats,heres the catch!
they have to be in tan colour,have headrests and be in really good condition!
nothing wrong with the ones i have,just want headrests on the seats.
unless someone has just the headrests and the complete fitting kits?
thanks in advance.

IIRC, the head rest seats were only available towards the end of Amazon production, so you might be better off just looking for a set of headrests etc in whatever colour you can find them in, and then having them retrimmed to match the seats. As your car is an F reg, the seat frames should have the necessary bracketry to take a headrest fitting kit. Someone on here did a rather good write-up recently on how to do all this - I will have a quick search to see if I can find it

we were the same simon wanted head rests, and as ours had ford fiesta seats in we were desperate, we got a set from amazon cars and they were in blue but were both passenger seats, but they fitted fine and we had them re trimmed as part of the restro

I know where you're coming from, I got some seats with the in-built headrests from Amazonia, for my '68 a while ago (fair 'old stock' condition) at a reasonable price.
