I found a good match with all the bits as well https://www.famousfour.co.uk/new_parts/ff_part?part=6514 £ almost £250 all in, the thing is they dont make the originals any more, and you cant get Britpart copies

Take them off and leave them off. Car will look much better without them.
I agree, but the wife is a short arse

Just more to go wrong and neither car has them. Two cars is better because there is an outside chance that one of them will always be workingMemory seats!

Actually if I could get electric seats here in France I would fit them, but having just been ripped off by Ebay UK seller Skitt for a pair of front seats, I will have to save up before I can try again.Ahh good point...

From what i see on ebay, there are a few seats available..
Some breakers might also sell you a complete interior or a few hundred notes
Mind you getting it over to france might be an issue regarding postage

Finding a seller that is trustworthy seems to be the main problem, shipping what has been described. Ebay & Paypal don't want to know. Actually all I need is the leather cover for the seat base left hand side, but it has to be the right pattern which seems to be a rare one, perhaps because it's LHD. Probably going to try a restorer over here.From what i see on ebay, there are a few seats available..

Is it the 3 big pleat style instead of the multi pleat you see on the latter cars?
Might be worth having a restorer have a go at them..

It is, just worn in the normal place on the edge where the driver gets in and out. this car had no working suspension when I got it and no MOT. It had been used to pull a trailer through a vinyard during the grape harvest and then abandoned when it wouldn't go. Been a runner for a year now, gradually getting the faults sorted as they appear.
