Melville & Moon seat covers
I’ve had an email from them this morning advising that their latest shipment from South Africa will be in the warehouse next Wednesday 21st April) and my order will be sent out then. If you are looking for their seat covers but haven’t ordered any it might be worth calling them on the number on their website to see if they have any stock sets coming in as well.
Cost of their covers for a 5 seater 110 is £619 inc VAT - there’s no mention of duty on the invoice so I assume these have a zero rate import duty for the UK Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Be careful with the VAT / Import duty.

On some parcels I’ve had from the States lately, over the last year. They have tended to be delivered as expected. (With no prior VAT payment).
However, the VAT & fees such as handling often is posted to you so many weeks later for payment which obviously is required.

In the past they used to hold items back, send out for taxes to be paid then release once payment was made.
There is the possibility all fees were paid though on your originally quote before shipping.

Very rarely is VAT or these fees missed for obvious reasons.

Just a heads ups, I had one letter come though about 6 weeks after a delivery last year requiring handing and vat to be paid upon.

They have a store in London so I don’t think there will be any import duties and taxes.

I quite fancy a set of these myself but they currently not available for the 90 until they get their first 90 vehicle delivered in South Africa. Also I would like to see what Exmoor Trim ones are like, he said he was going to make them for early this year but when I messaged him back in February they still weren’t available.

fitted our Charcoal set of M&M 3 months ago, $1450 Aussie dollars for the 2 rows and spare wheel cover, about 725
of her majesties pounds. A very good fit and should keep the seats up to scratch.. excuse the loose fitting on the
fronts, i put it down to shoddy work on my part Whistle it has since been rectified

what an awful ordering system. Do you have to guess the price? How do you get the centre cubby box cover? 2020 First Ed 110.

replaced by 2021 250 110 Commercial

centre cubby cover came with the set, and most pictures i have seen show it to be included

M&M are a bit like Land Rover, they have their own agents and market based pricing Wink ,
in Australia the agent is Overland Safaris.. not sure in the UK yet another pommie bar steward down under

Reviving this thread..

The choices are pretty slim in terms of seat covers, and the quality looks pretty awful. Is it really that hard to make a seat cover that doesn't look like a binbag full of bodyparts?

How are the M&Ms holding up? Even these seemed a little saggy..

How do I get prices in the UK?

Contact M&M directly

They quoted me around £450 for a pair of seat covers for my 90 Commercial.
l hesitated because l want to know if they pull out from the back of the seat base in use. Are they just pushed in there, or are there fixings/tapes that hold them in place?

About a year old now. Wouldn’t have bothered if I had leather seats but the synthetic cloth seats kept giving me static shocks when I got out. M&M were the only covers I could find that didn’t look/feel s***.

Bit of adjusting to get them right but holding up really well and worth the cost IMO. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews
