is it possible to buy the cloth for my interior and get my drivers seat restored? Got the usual damage from people getting in and out the car over the years.

If I were you get a good passenger seat and remove the material and get it refitted to your drivers seat.

Great idea - auto trimmers won't charge you much to swap the covering over and it should be a better (and a lot cheaper) match than a new fabric as it should be similarly faded, etc. Post in the parts section on here, I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

Just get a good passenger seat and fit it straight in. Even with the seat controls on the left side, it's easy enough to adjust. It's even easier if you're the only one that drives the car...

I could have helped you out if it were for comfort seats.

Ten minute job to swap the height/recline lever over.
