Wanted - XKE / E-Type seats w/ Headrests - Any Condition
WantedInterior/Upholstery
Description:
My wife has had a neck injury and needs protection for her neck while driving. My 1966 S1 XKE 2+2 has original seats with no headrests. She doesn't like to ride in it, because there's a chance of having her neck further damaged.
So... I'm looking for a set of E-Type seats that will have headrests, like those found in the later Series 2 and Series 3 cars. I don't really care too much about the condition, so long as they are basically sound platforms to start with. I will be totally refurbishing them and putting on new leathers to match my existing interior (red).
I could use Miata seats, but I really hate to move so far away from originality. Later Jaguar XKE seats would still look reasonably period correct in a Series 1 XKE Coupe, but Miata seats would be of a glaringly new-style, so I'd prefer not to go that route.
Willing to travel to collect them if needed.
Thank you for any help you can offer in finding a set!
Cheers,
Kevin
I'm in eastern PA, so I could easily drive out to pick them up.
Would you be able to shoot me a text? Then we can begin to communicate offline re price, details, pickup dates, etc? I am in area code 215, and my number begins with 272, and finishes off with 3320.
Thanks!!
Cheers,
Kevin
