[TR] TR3 seat options

I put some Mazda Miata MX5 seats in my '62 TR3 last summer. These
seats are recommended in the book "How to Improve Triumph TR2-4A" by
Roger Williams. They fit right in, but took some manufacturing of new
seat rails, which was not difficult. They look great and are soooo
comfortable. The comfort of the seats was always my biggest complaint
about my TR3. I paid $60 for the pair at a wrecking yard and they are
in great condition. I could now drive across country from Oregon to
the east coast and be comfortable, whereas driving to the local
grocery store used to be an exercise in discomfort! They don't look
original, but I have taken to heart a quote I read on this forum
several years ago from a TR3 owner: "I do not have a problem with
making changes to my TR3 when it involves improving performance,
safety, or comfort, as long as I feel it doesn't change the basic
character of the car."

Hey Rye,
I have looked at the products this company for aftermarket seats. Nice
stuff. Kind of pricey though.
They are mainly Porsche and Cobra replacements. I think that you will
find the seats in this TR there.

I saw this photo of a TR3 with some aftermarket seats, and I'm curious
if anyone knows what brand they are? Note this is a right hand drive
car, so these are probably a UK brand, but hoping I can find them or
something like them, in the USA.
Thanks,
Rye

Rye,
I looked again at Classic Seats and didn't find the exact seats in the
TR and I looked at Cobra too. Still not exactly the same, but seam
like good options to me.

Rye:
I have similar seats in both my TR3s - see pics.
I got them from my cousin, Darryl Uprichard, who owns Racetorations
in the
UK. He now has a US dealer, so there may be some in the states.
