I know a lot of you guys out there have of have had various sports cars.
We're looking for seats that look as close to the real thing as we can find.
Below are a few pics of Miura seats.
Does anyone know of seats from another car that look the same or similar?
Thanks

Early Lotus Esprit is the closest thing I can think of. Especially being that narrow. If I think of anything else...

Seats from an Esprit S1 would be perfect.
Best pic I could find...
I'll hop on LEW and see if I can find some...
BTW, this is a f^&king AWESOME project, and if it weren't for the "lottery winner" windshield, I'd be commissioning one of my own - today!!
-edit-
Here are some Esprit V8 seats, slightly different style, and likely WAY too expensive...

Thanks for all the nice comments.
A little update.
In an effort to get all the welding & fitting done before we send the chassis out for powdercoating, we got the new LS3 engine in this week.
We'll be fitting this engine into the car & finishing up the overall welding on the chassis. Then we'll blow it apart, store the engine until we need to reinstall it, & get the chassis out to the powdercoater.
