I was always partial to the early Healey "bugeye" Sprite seats.

I’ve been looking at these. But the vendor hasn’t been responsive

I've seen modified Porsch 914 seats that looked really good.

Easy to remove head rest if desired, modify seat rails to fit tracks, then reupholster to match rest of interior.
