Black wouldn't be acceptable to me on my 1500 but would on my Mk1.

Spitfire Mk1 1964. I would buy for this car ONLY if the price was real good.
Spitfire 1500 1973. I need foams and seat covers. Either in vinyl or leather.
Price is of course a prime factor here. I don't even know what I want to do
with the 1500 yet so I'm not even sure I should spend any money on it as
yet. But price can dictate certain things!

The spit seats do NOT match any of the TR seats. I've checked out that
idea before. The early mk1 spitfire seats are similar to the TR2/3/4 seats but
smaller and cheaper made. (surprise!). TR3's were last made in 1962 with
the TR3B. The TR4's were from 1962 to 1965. TR4A's were from 1965 to
1967. All those seats are different from each other.
