You could fit the tailored seat covers from Politecnic for a tenth of that. See my article in the January 19 edition of the club magazine.

You will need another metre of the fabric to do the door cards and the fascia

Was goi g to get two Pete to do the back of middle seat too. I notice you cant order online so I hope my French is up to the job!!!!!

The back of the middle seat is included in the set, as is the headrest. I didn't try speaking to them on the phone , I emailed them. They write good English, but you have to pay by international bank transfer.

I missed that. I'll need to find the magazine and read your story. I like the idea of keeping the fabric interior, but Simon has for many years offered this solution - it's not checp, but it's cheaper than the 4000£ you were quoted, Terry: https://www.simon-auto-shop.de/epages/Simon-Auto-Anlasser-Lichtmaschinen.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Simon-Auto-Anlasser-Lichtmaschinen/Products/24082

If you are thinking of going down that route, you may also want to consider this http://carjoy.nl/matra-shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=62_137

Simon has the seats refurbished from ground up, as far as I know, and needs your old seats and trims in return for the new ones.

Thanks for all the info gents.
I have 3 sets of seats so for the first set I have emailed Politecnic to place an order for the DA6 type (red and black)
Once fitted I will decide if I like them and if not go down the "carjoy" route.
