You can get them from Intatrim.....there £300+ vat a pair.

I sat in some at Exeter Kit Car Show a few years back, really nice but very narrow.....might have gone up a bit by now thou.

I got my Toniq seats from Intatrim, very well made.

Those seats used to be made and supplied by Westfield themselves.  Looking at their webshop they now supply a Cobra FIA approved seat instead of this, which they used to refer as their race seat.

If you doubt me, please refer to 'A racecar is born,' which I assume everyone has on their DVD shelves.

Thanks very much, just having a look at intatrim's website now but can't see them, I'll give them a call and see what I can find out

I got a sales sheet at home, they list them as "the Endeavor" or "Megellan"......bit dearer the last one.

But they aren't precisely the same.  Here's my old Endeavor seat (Narrow Version) from my MNR build:

They aren't as good as the old Westfield ones - very poor lumbar support.  They do look cool though.

They are Westfield race seats. I think they are still available but you would need to ring as they now have a deal with Cobra who they outscource to.

The interim ones are very similar

I've had an email back to say the same as above, that these were only available from westfield but they do make a similar seat, also as pictured above. I'll have to keep an eye out for a second hand pair.

Your be lucky!.....I've been looking out for a similar seat for ages, likes hens teeth. ::) 

I gave up..... I've just bought a new pair of black high-back narrow seats with red piping, not exactly what I really wanted but
should look better and give me better support than the old ones. ::)
