Tom,
Back when they were new, lots of our British cars were titled as new in
the year they were sold. So, if a 62 sat on a lot for a year and a half,
it was titled as a 64. Get the idea. A lovely lot those dealers of yore.
Mounting hardware on seat is very general, lots of seat fiit lots of
cars. If you have "hi-backs", they could be anything from Spitfire to TR6.
A quick reference is to check the seat diagrams in say, the Vicky Brit
catalogue and see if your seats are shown. Try to match up the pattern of
panels or stitching.
Sorry couldn't be more help.
Best Regards,
Tony
