Just been sent a pic of the interior...
:-(
Passenger seat is missing, Drivers seat is cloth on a separate frame, so not Series style, and is very shabby.
I'm watching some on ebay but thought would ask here too - anyone want ro sell a set of fronts for an early Defender?
I also see advertised seats for 'defender/discovery'. Does this mean that I can extend my search to include an early Disco?

A friend in north carolina fitted disco1 seats in a defender without an issue. Even was able to use the same tracks. I'll try to get ahold of him after xmas and advise if he modified anything Rick
Have you worked out what seats are in it now? put the pic somwewhere we can see it and we can say what they are.
somebody could have recovered a defender one using a cloth style cover rather than the original leatherette.
Exmoor trim sell all the stuff you might need new to sort out your seats. I recovered a very tatty pair of defender seats for my 101 (into which they fit using some of the existing mouting holes!).
For the full glory of its tattiness!

Looks like a recovered standard type seat to me. BTW you also seem to have the steering wheel shroud missing to.
And the other seats :)
Yes, they're standard type seats (as used in Defenders as well as the later
1980's 90 and 110s). Exmoor Trim (as already stated) make a good range - look atAre you watching Ebay? There are a pair fitted with heaters going through
Don't bother recovering very old seats. The foam breaks down when they get too old, and deposits a sand like substance everywhere!
Are you going to get three seats, or just left and right and a centre cubby box? If you are going for three seats, the middle one doesn't give the passenger much leg room but is useful in emergencies (or for small children if you get a 3 point seat belt).
Good luck!
