Tan Seats for a 2 door Amazon

barwick27 · Aug 2nd, 2013, 08:07

Does any one have the Tan seats from a 2 door 1970 Amazon, preferably the drivers back and base cushions as mine have gone (see the attached photo).
Thanks
Peter

If you have no luck you could get that fixed no problem and you can also buy new ones.

Thanks, I did think of that but thought I'd see if anyone had one knocking around first. Also I'm going to sell the car when it's done as I have a 123GT now and don't need 2 Amazons.

I guess i could sell the car without the tears, but I just wnated to make it look a little better.

Hi Kassie, you must have missed it in the for sale section...I don't really want to sell it after all the money I've spent on it, but I can't really justify 2 Amazons at the moment (along with all the other cars I have too).

Cheer

simon at brookhouse

he does them not much he cannot supply and very good service as we all know

thanks for the comments, I know I can get them new, but as I'm selling the car I don't really want to spend the extra money on getting new ones and getting them fitted...easier to try and track down some secondhand parts.

I know one of Simon's sources for parts, and they don't have a set either...besides I ask Simon for the seat back webbing for the 123GT a few weeks ago, but haven't heard anything back from him as yet...I'm not in a hurry as I think I've solved the problem using a couple of spare black seat back and taking the covers off and using the frames and webbing for my seat covers.

Ok hi Peter. I've just picked up on this thread and may be able to offer something towards your situation.

I am in the process of restoring my 122S which has TAN seats, but the driver's has gone much like your own except the top is ok. I am intending on installing some Alfa seats (ssshhh) and have found that you are able to remove a good passenger cover from one and slip it over onto the drivers frame because of the same bolster issues - the passenger 'inner' bolster next the seat belt mounts gets little wear and subsequently becomes the driver's 'outer' bolster - now is that possible with yours 'coz I think I have a reasonable Volvo tan passenger seat!!!

I also have some headrests but not tan.

Have a look and let me know.
