Hi, Just seen this midas project on ebay.
Is anybody from here bidding on it? (just placed a bid myself) dont want to drive the price up for a fellow enthusiast (dont really want anybody bidding up my price either).
Needs to be back on the road and enjoyed.

That's Paul Kyneston's car. Good project car. General overhaul, paintjob, proper wheels (that will be the difficult part) and it will shine again. Who's going to save it?

hello.
I like the seats in the car, does anyone know from where they come. Can think of to get the same seats to my car, I just dont know where to find such seats.

They're Ridgard seats. I have some and don't think they're very good considering the price. You're much better off with seats from a production car.

I agree on that. Ridgard seats are rubbish and the leather is very vinyl like. They also don't sit very comfortable. Plenty of alternatives nowadays with seats from production cars. I once put Honda CRX seats in my Gold coupe although I put them straight on the Midas seat runners because the aftermarket runners are usually too high.
