I was able to buy only neon green front seat backrest covers some five years ago,at the time that I bought,there were just 17 sets left in the warehouse in Munich.

'Bison' leather was an (expensive) option for these cars,so a re-trim in a similar leather may be one way around your problem.

Just 50 RHD neon green cars were built,over the last five years I have not seen another 'in the metal',but have seen photo's of three or four.

Just to wind you up...

And what I started with...

I think I have a green rear seat squab from a Touring, It's in top condition but I'll need to dig it out.

I actually though it was blue when I bought it (long story).

Let me know if you're interested and I'll see if I can find it and send some pics.

Hey Daimlerman is that the Ailsa Craig in the back ground? I used to live in Scotland when I was a kid(left over 30 year ago). My seats were so shot I threw them out and got some leather ones out of a wrecked 2007 BMW 3 series. The patterned material you have used looks perfect for the E30's 1980s interior.

If you want to come back up they've taken the wrapper off the bridge now!
