Don't think the foam seats some people take to SVA will be "E" marked....not noticed any markings on my Cobra seats, either

They have to be fitted correctly, too - look for seatbelt height, secure fastenings etc etc...

As long as they are secure and have no sharp edges, they will pass.Also if the seatbelts pull/attach on them, they will be counted as part of the seatbelt system and must be strong enough.
No "E" mark required.
