what seats you fitting??
if its either 88 or 90 spec you should have no bother getting a cabbie seat to match for cheap

if its half leather then thats no biggie either most 1/2 leather is cabbie original neways

i have these half leather cabbie seats to go, also got the fronts but the drivers bolster is very wornout

im after some better fronts for my xr2 now

the pattern is 90 spec but the leather makes it appear darker, they do another style 90 spec where th3 light and dark are reversed too

put a wtd add on here for a cabbie rear seat back be sorted easy enough

Cabriolet seats are unique, the only way to fit normal escort rear seats is to bin the speaker pods, which IMO is a right bodge
