Box pleat seats

I have these Ambla Ebony box-pleat seats. Rear seat cushions & squabs plus complete front seat (Passenger's in a RHD car / Driver's in a LHD car). They all look a bit dusty in the picture but they are all in great condition with no tears or obvious wear.

I'm not after much for them, but they would need collecting from East Yorkshire.
 
Hi Phil, just wondering if the dents/ imprints have come out of the rear right seat cushion and how much are you after for them?
Cheers Josh

I’m pretty sure they will, Josh.

The seats have been stored for at least 15 years & that photo was the first time they’ve been moved.

They are vinyl so even if there were some longer term impressions, perhaps careful use of a hair dryer would ease them?

If you’re interested please PM me with an offer. I’m not after a great deal - I just want them to be used again.

The front seat is for the left side of the car (ie: UK passenger) Dave, although I'm pretty sure most of it would swap to cover a poor RHD driver's seat.

There are indeed both rear seats but just the one front one (the other is in 'BOP' ;)). I think there may be an arm rest &/or filler in another bag & I'll have a look next time I'm at the 'lock up' which should be soon.
 
Thanks Phil for confirming and also for looking to see if rear arm rest and filler bits are available. I know Josh is interested so I will step back and if Josh decides not to go forward let me know. I need a good box pleat passenger seat (Buckskin!)as the base is aged and has splits on the seat “cheeks” plus cushion is worn and ‘flakey’ (bits on the floor post being sat on!) Hard to get good box pleat so I could cannibalise this one and colour it. If rear seats also better than mine I could do same (was my thinking).

Thank you for your interest, guys. I have now cleaned the parts up & have found the rear seat 'filler' plus a driver's glovebox & a few other bits:

...I have also found a few minor bits of damage which I am showing in detail, so please factor these in if you're interested. I'm sure most could be repaired almost invisibly (superglue?) as I did many years ago on the interior now in 'BOP'.
Overall, I'm being picky as the seats look very good overall & of course are not too easy to come by now.

Front seat - usual place:
