Seats - what year are these?

Want to get these re-upholstered, anyone have any idea what year they are? Any recommendations on upholstery kits?

I'm not sure of the exact year but they are late 80's. 87-89ish. You can tell by the style of piping on the head rest.

Earlier models the piping wnet up and over vs. how this swings to the back and around.

I think they are 85-94 standard seats (not sport), just want someone to verify before I order the wrong upholstery kit...

seats

It looks like you have 2 passenger seats. The seat back releases should be on the outside. One left and one right , looks like yours are both on the right. (passenger seats)

No, seats of that era had the backrest releases on both sides. Look for the location of the seat belt recievers. The seat on the right looks to be a passenger seat. I can't tell about the other one but it is probably a matched pair.

It's a left / right matched pair with releases on both sides of both seats. They are electric but the gubbins will be removed as they are be going in my 72, my originals are in good condition but not very supportive / comfy.
