Here is a picture of a driver seat out of my old 65K mile silver rose. Outside side bolsters are toast and the bottom main panel is stained/damaged. If indeed you can source the fabric, then this could be a start for your project. PM if interested.

werk924.com
They speak English and they ship overseas. The prices include VAT so if you import to US you can probably deduce tax (19%) but ask them first. They respond and ship fast. I bought this material 3 years back, there was no choice of premium and economy that time, only premium (judging from the price). It costed a little fortune and I wouldn't call it premium just ordinary seat upholstering material. Don't get me wrong - the quality is not bad at all, it's just different than nowadays materials, feels more like wool mixed with cotton rather than bulletproof synthetic material. I still haven't done my SR seats yet, just went another route and focused on second car.

so are you saying, you have the material but haven't used it yet? I looked at the webpage, what do you think is the difference b/t premium and economy? Better question is, I wonder which the original material is (econ or prem)?


lastly, if you're not using the material (because you went a diff way), are you looking to sell? I'm in TN (USA).

I have no idea what the difference is - I guess quality? Maybe thickness? Original material is in my opinion at least comparable to premium, in fact when I compared what I bought to the original seat upholstery it looked little cheaper. Not like night and day but little less thick. Still very good quality anyway.
I'm planning on keeping this material, I hope to restore my SR one day.

Thanks. I reached out to them to get a quote. I may order it and
just hold on to it until I'm ready to use it. It's still at the shop racking up costs and today I just bought another project Range Rover (yes, another one) so I need to slow down a bit.

I've been looking for my seats for quite awhile as well, even as a used set.
