It does state in the advert these are replicas, they may be cheap but who knows what the quality is like?

Mark, I think Circle is referring to the Stancesociety seats.

I'd like hard back and reclining in leather if possible.

Hi Stuart,

I thought you had found some Singer style seats?

Cheers,
Paul

I 'think' I bought a set of these seats some time ago secondhand off eBay for £200. They were very tight in the hip area, and whilst I am not a member of the Golightly family, they were too tight for me. I fortunately managed to off load them to a chap who whilst having too much wine made a bid he later regretted when he picked them up

I suspect if they say 36" waist max these will be the same.

I think these seats that someone flagged up for us in the UK are better value taking account of shipping/VAT etc

Stuart, look into the Recaro Sportster CS. Had I gone for reclining seats, they would have been my first choice. Not exactly cheap but they are very comfortable, nice looking, hardback shell, reclining, and fold forward latch for quick access to the back. They also make a version with flatter bolsters (Cross Sportster CS) for easier ingress/egress.

No affiliation at all, just saw these, maybe a bit pricey?
