No, really. If you have wrestled with the chassis, fixed the engine and remounted the body you want to drive the thing, right!
If your seats were the same a mine (really grim) then you are driving it sat on a beer crate trying to work out how you can afford a retrim.
Here's a cheap solution.
A pair of steel framed kit car seats, with runners that will fit a Peerless floor, and a vinyl rear seat cover. (Just the cover, assume you have the grp shell) This is actually correct for a Warwick, and is what I used for a couple of years while I got brave enough to start cutting leather. Essentially everything else in the car is a flat surface, easy peasy.
Job lot £100 or offer, prefer not to split, and collect preferred, because shipping will be pricy. This is less than a third of what the seats cost from big boys toys.
Any interest out there?

I was tempted but only really need one. The drivers side. Mine are off for re-trimming so it's sitting on a toolbox time if I want to move the car around.
I bought two hides for £80 twenty years ago at the NEC jumble (the year that Browns Lane closed)
The Warwick seats were really, really grim, I tried to persuade Ian to get the GRP shells re-made but it never happened.
In order to get going, I bought these steel framed seats. I made a back seat cover in vinyl to see if I could manage pleated and piped trim. (AKA tuck and roll)
I have been driving the Warwick around like this for five years. Nobody laughed.
Last year I finally plucked up enough courage to cut leather, and did the front seats. This year I have got round to re-doing the back seat.
You can tell me how much your re-trim cost of you like.......

Mike, I've got one small rally type seat you're welcome to if we can shift it about the country somehow?
