any one know what replacement seats i can fit into a holdswoth vision 1986 as you may know they make the bed up

The seats were specially designed for the Vision. Short of doing a bit of carpentry and re-upholstery, I don't know what to suggest. Are your seats missing altogether or just totally knackered? When I bought my Vision, I had all the seats (and curtains & trim to match) completely re-upholstered. It cost me just over £1k to get it done at a specialist upholsterer.

seats are in working order but a bit tatty looks like ill have to save some pennys up thanks for your help

Unfortunately Richard Holdsworth chose a fabric for his conversions seating which was only intended to last 10 or 15 years before going tatty. As these vans are lasting twice that length of time, they become due for re-upholstery. Modern fabrics should outlast the old cotton based stuff, so once tackled it should not need doing again in the life of the van.

old front seats

new front seats


I chose the colour to represent my favourite food - fillet steak.

Hi looking for my Holdsworth vision seats to be re-upholstered and fixed (rubber sheet split on drivers side).

Where did you get your seats done and would you reccomend them.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
This is the website for the people who did my re-upholtery the year before last. They re-upholstered the seats, made curtains from the same fabric as the seats so as to match, and they re-trimmed the edges of the roof where the high top sits. They also laid vinyl floor covering. Their prices may have gone up since I had my van done but I know they are happy to give a quote for a set job. It's worth taking your van there for the estimate and to discuss exactly what you would like done and to choose fabric colours and such. I found them very helpful and the quality of workmanship was excellent. I would certainly have no hesitation using them again.
