DON'T SELL THE BLOODY CAR!!! You obviously love it. You WILL
regret this move. Spend some money and put better seats in the car.
I did it with the "Green Man". I chose early TR6 seats... They are
much more comfortable for the long haul. You might also look at a
set of rally seats from Autostorica in the UK. They're priced at
about $500 per side, they're historically acurate and from what
I've heard comfy too.
Save your original seats in case you want to return to original
at some future date. This is a simple fix. Sell the car only if:
1. You're tired of it and want a new challenge.
2. Your S.O. gives you the choice... either her or the car...
(and you like your S.O. more)
3. You can't afford to maintain it any more.
4. You've finally decided to be mature
5. Aunt Flossie will cut you out of her will if you don't (when
she kicks off, you can get whatever you want).
6. You need the money for a 1927 Bentley 4.5 liter Blower car
which has suddenly become available... at a rediculously
low price.
NOT because the seats give you a pain...
