[Wanted] Canvas Seat Covers for Discovery 3
Looking to buy a set of Melvill and Moon (or comparable canvas such as Exmoor Trim) seat covers for our Discovery 3 HSE. I’ve really taken to the M&M covers, however my wife is pushing for something more budget friendly. I’m hoping someone has a set of used covers they are ready to part with.
Our LR3 is an HSE Lux 7 seater with black interior. I don’t think some of those specs change the fit, but I see it as an option on some order forms. Ideal covers would be charcoal, however I’d consider beige/tan/etc for the right deal. We don’t use the 3rd row so a seat of 5 seats with a 35/30/35 split 2nd row works.
I’m in Seattle, WA. Will of course cover shipping and customs fees.2008 LR3 HSE, 4.4L V8

Hi
Have u considered ones made by INKA plse, had a set on mine and still look like new after 5 x years
They fitted very well and I liked them because they come with a separate head rest , can also get them with arm rest covers
Only thing I can’t see at the moment is if they make them in LHD , here’s their email retailorders@auto-kit.co.uk just in case ur interested and wish to double check , they do come with the slits in the front seats for the air bags
Hope that helps

I have the Melvill and Moon on my D4 and they are excellent. They are a ridiculous price in the UK, I picked mine up in South Africa for less than half price.
I hope you find some.

Gary,
Thanks for the tip. I did check on the Inka on your suggestion. There is a similar style cover available stateside near the same price point, so I think they’ll be my fall-back if I end my search.
Yes, they are gorgeous covers. I originally contacted M&M a year ago, and while it took them a few months to get back to me, they answered all my questions. I thought the price was quite fair for the quality ($475 for front and center row) and them being custom made to order, however the shipping pushed it out of budget ($250+) and I’m sure it is more now.
Via searches, I’ve seen these and similar come up for sale occasionally, so a man can dream!2008 LR3 HSE, 4.4L V8

Hi William, I suppose I should have included some pricing info in the original posting. My budget is approx. £250 shipped. That being for 5 seats with armrests, head rest, in grey. That’s about 1/2 of what they are new, such is my thinking.2008 LR3 HSE, 4.4L V8

Still interested, though I would revise my offer to £125 for the fronts only or £165 for the whole kit.2008 LR3 HSE, 4.4L V8

I did order a set of m&m covers 3 weeks ago, in south africa directly..
A friend of mine lives there, so when he is comming to visit the netherlands , he takes them with him..
BUT if i only had known……
I found a polish firm specialising in custom 4x4 LR stuff, i ordered a steel rear bumper with sparewheel carrier, rock sliders etc…
And they also have canvas/corduroy seat covers, looking really good and cheap as chips compaired to m&m.
Google translate is your friend and they communicate in english by email.. if you ask..
A front row SET of two covers is about 110 gbp (+ VAT at your end + shipping )Best regards
