Does any one know where I can get a couple of black head rests for my newly acquired Sylva J15?

Your old car!!! Lol

I know you built it with carbon seats with integrated headrests but it now has bespoke seats made for the car that can accommodate...how shall I say...the more we’ll proportioned driver! I was driving back from Birmingham and realised the damage that would be done to my head if I took a rear end shunt would be nasty. I’ve looked at other cars online and see a lot of them have small headrests. Who supplies parts for the J15 now?

When i completed my J15 last year, i asked jeremy how many there were and he said he'd sold 42 altogether of J15 and Vectis (MGF rear subframe) combined but didn't know how many (if any) had been sold under the new ownership since he sold the business.

There's been a few on here but i wonder how many are actually on the road? Potentially rarer than exotics like the Ferrari 250 GTO (39 built) or the McLaren F1 (64 road cars)!

it was a new company run by David MacBean called sylva sportscars:

https://www.totalkitcar.com/2016/10/06/mgf-base-for-sylva-j17/

but the website seems to be dead now. i don't recall ever hearing anything about any cars bought since David took it over.

a little bit of info here:
