Original Tag under Driver's Seat

[SeanOErvin]

I am working to recover the seat in my '66 Elan S2. I noticed this tag, and I don't find reference in any of the posts. I thought this might interest a few originality purists.

The Tag reads "PRODUCT OF - THE LACE WEB SPRING Co. Ld. - SANDIACRE, NOTTINGHAM." I also included some seat photos so you could see where it was attached. Interesting...

Interesting, thanks.

Doing a quick search on the company, it seems they provided seat springs and hessian covering for train and car seats. They exhibited at the 1964 Motor Show too.

I believe the rest of the seat - frame, foam, cover - was assembled by Lotus. Can anyone confirm that?

Another manufacturer's label found yesterday on the underside of the driver's seat.

From the Graces link above is this advert from the mid 1950s the text seems to suggest they manufactured the components rather than the finished article:
