PM Micky1mo as he has the moulds now.

There's a thread covering the change of ownership last year called Sammio/Ribble the next chapter (hope this link works) -

I'd like to see the project take off again as it'd be a shame if it falls by the wayside.

As for fitting a bench seat in a Spyder, unless you and your passengers are under 5' tall you won't enjoy driving the result if you do.

For anyone over about 5'8" you really need to drop the floors and fit thin based seats as close to the floor as possible, otherwise you'll end up looking like Noddy and your head will both spoil the aerodynamics and get torn off in the slipstream.

You could fit an upholstered rear panel that crosses the whole car, but I'd lower the floors and use two separate squabs as the bases.

Good luck getting hold of the body shells, it'll be worth the effort.
