Default seat repair inari gt5s coupe

The first job I plan to get done is to repair the drivers seat, the usual place on the bolster is fine as it was repaired years ago when the previous owner was still able to purchase the cloth.
It now needs repairing in a couple of other places (see pic). Ive heard about taking material from the back of the seats and using that or recovering the bolsters in leather but i really want to keep the car as original as possible.
I was wandering if any one out there has any cloth or an old seat that i could buy, maybe somebody has bought a seat in this colour to use the frame and doesnt need the cloth??
I know that there have been a couple more inari's on ebay in the last few weeks with what looks like the same interior, maybe the new owners (if your reading this) have plans to change the interior??
Also can anyone tell me what the interior pattern or code is to help me in my search.
Any other ideas / tips are much welcomed.

cheers davow

they are more green in real life, the photos dont really show the true colour! the large check is quite a nasty green and yellow combo and the outer cloth is green with a slight brown fleck, I'll go see if I can get a better picture!

Its Inari, the seats / interior are really quite nasty! theyre growing on me tho! They are probably not to many peoples taste (what were they thinking in the 80's??) but I want to keep it original if i can. Just been out to get some more pics, still not that good as my camaras a bit crap!

thats better i had an inairi green coupe my fav colour .i also love the green interior .always wanted a 200 5t in green and geen int

tbh you might be hard pushed to get that colour i redone mine in the 80s completely changing it .it could be the only way unless you use the rear seats

anyway this was mine
