Looks like a very expensive John Cooper Garages Recaro to me.

Thanks guys,
A unanimous verdict
I'll have to decline the offer of a Cashew nut and half a pack of ready salted as I'm more of a cheese and onion man myself

I've got an old John Cooper Garage brochure at home somewhere which shows leather seats. I don't recall them being Recaro but rather Corbeau GTS, I'm not 100% sure, but it does look allot like the cloth versions.

I think I will upset the apple cart here.
They are John Cooper Garages but I dont think they are the Recaro version, they are based on either Cobra Le Mans or Corbeau GTS, the latter i think as the bolster shape is the nearest match to the JCG ones.
Before anyone gets upity I know this as I had a set in Paddy my project car, these were flogged on the bay for £1200 with matching rears and got shipped to Hong Kong. Before posting them for sale I made sure that the listing was correct as I didnt want some want someone getting upset they weren't the Recaro version.
JCG did offer Recaro versions in their later brochures alongside these and the side bolster shape is markedly different to either the Corbeau and Cobra recliners.
The ones I sold
Corbeau GTS & Cobra LeMans
I will post up a scan from the JCG brochure later tonight if I can find it
