Peter,
When I was looking for seats for my Pantera, I came very close to using a pair from a late '80's/early '90's Alfa Spider. They are thin shelled, quite narrow and have amazing thigh support. I'm sure they'd be easier to find in The UK/Europe than over here although I did manage to find a few pairs on eBay. Just another option to consider.
