Silver Special Seat Cover

Postby Danbretta » Wed Jun 21, 2017 3:56 pm

Anyone know of a decent replacement seat cover for a silver special?
Most dark blue ones i have seen look too "blue" the original on my LiS is almost black in appearance. How do the CASA ones compare against the original, anyone had one (or are there betters available)?
Also on the original what would have been the correct colour Innocenti badge on the back (mine only has the end section with rivets, the main part has long gone). Would the original have been silver and black? I have seen these as replacements in green/silver and blue/silver, are these just after market tarty bits?

Also anyone know of a good upholsterer that could repair my original, the fabric is ok and I'd like to reuse it eventually but one of the reinforced sides has cracked and collapsed beneath the vinyl. all the rest could be saved and restitched.

Thanks in advance.

Here's my '65 Italian import with a Casa cover and original rear badge Image The sear cover may be for sale as I've sourced an original one.

I bought one off Mike Phoenix some time ago. Black on the sides with a grey top. Hope that helps, the best of luck.

The seat cover for a150 Silver Special is black not blue.
Dark blue was fitted to the 125 Special.

Scootopia were doing Tutto covers in blue recently.
You could get a comparison from those and the Casa ones.
