Just as I was setting up the potato for some outdoor pics, it clouded over and we haven't seen the Sun since. So here's some dull indoor hints of the latest acquisition.
Obviously they are blue right now....

I'm glad the info on the Cobra set of seats turned up when it did as, with a little research, it looks like their customised seats were essentially a mix of the squarer headrest Huntmasters crossed with the shallower shouldered set from Corbeau. So the closest overall looking seats are the Huntmasters.... But then this unbadged set turned up, which I've just thought could be made by Cobra - so that's all my guesswork out of the side window, lol.

For me, the most important parts are the shape and size of the headrest and shoulder sections which are pretty much spot on with this set. However, this type has just a tad more depth in the top of the arm area - but with the added back cushion, as seen on the Falcon's seats, the depth is reduced to very convincing proportions.
I think the Princess said in an interview that they had trouble getting in and out of the original seats so customisation was done to flatten the lower cushion. Perhaps that's when the tops of the arms were reduced in depth so it was easier to roll out sideways.

The actual material looks like it could be similar to the original stuff, almost like a very short fleece. I have no idea what it's made out of but I wonder if it would hold together after being dyed to the right colour - if that's even possible.
I'll take some better photos at more recognisable angles tomoz.
