I'm trying to find 4-6 car front seats for a film project. Colour and make aren't important, so if anyone has some going spare please let me know smile

Just a home movie! But it's a comedy and will be fun to make and there are vacancies for extras if you fancy a go - filming in Essex spring/summer.

Gotny seats...?

That would be OK, we plan to make covers for them. PM on way.

I've got a spare MR2 passenger seat if you're still looking. I'm near Huntingdon.

Thanks very much folks - but Huntingdon and Beccles aren't on my routes. Do either of you ever get further south? Ta!

No I don't venture South very often. Whereabouts are you?

Ideally we'd need to get them to Colchester, but Witham or Manningtree would do.

Rather too big to post!

What's the chance of getting two car seats, opened out flat, in a saloon with the back seats folded down?

Sounds doable, you might even be able to just put the seats in upside-down i.e. with the headrest in the rear passengers footwell. I've carried a pair of seats in the the MR2 that way (in the front obviously).

Not sure how private messages work? Am at my Ipswich yard next week sometime but only during the day.......not sure that is any use to you really. Maybe someone closer has something that you can get to easier??

Ipswich is good, we can see if two seats will fit into an S-Type!

PMs should arrive as e-mail to whatever e-mail address you set up with PH. Let me know when you'll be in Ipswich and I'll trundle over. Thanks!

Scrap yard would be easy and quick and cheap if you don't want a certain seat

But not as freebies for a home movie I suspect!

Thanks very much to Simon for the two seats I picked up today. Hopefully two more from Rangie next week and then we'll have eight!

They probably have to pay to get rid of unwanted seats so if you're not fussed about what they come out of they might be generous.
