Who fancies some posh new seat covers for their Bongo? 8) Free of charge!

We have approached a Birmingham based firm to design some replacement seat covers. They need to make templates from Bongo seats before they can proceed. They require a Bongo with a rear bench seat, and a Bongo with rear flip-up seats. They will need the vehicle all day, midweek, probably in around 3 or 4 weeks time.

Who wants to volunteer their Bongo? There's a free set of seat covers in it for you.......

I have one with only one flip up seat on one side as it has a small conversion. The rest of the seating is there though. Will that be any use?

Thanks for volunteering, but they need the full seat to scan in to their super wizard machine thingy.

Ian - I'd be happy to if I was more local but fuel £ makes it unattractive for me (although if they'd cover that cost then possibly.....). Surely someone local will grab this one!?!?!

Hi Ian,

I live in Leamington Spa wich is not far from Birmingham at all and I have split seats.

Will my Freda be ok for doing it?

It is a 1995 Freda, in case it matters.

Just let me know!

Also I have no problem with it being mid week as I can move my day off without too much trouble and with short notice. And I was just about to start sewing some trial seat covers so this could be my opportunity to save having to learn to sew!

Just a template at first. Then we can do whatever we want, minimum order of 25 sets though.

Back to the plot. Who is around for testing????
