Yeah I need a new set too for the Puma. I've had BlackDuck canvas seat covers for 15 years and still going strong on my 98 TDI. Maybe we should try for a group buy?

Can you buy covers for the single back seats in a 90 or 7-seat 110?

I have looked for canvas covers, including for single back seats of a 90. Are they available?

Have a look at millercanvas.com.au they seem the best option in Oz

Given the end of production has been all over the UKL press I was surprised to see little about it on here and in the Aussie press:

Land Rover Defender to cease production in 2015 | Mail Online

Cheers,
Brett.

"So little about it in the Aussie Press"?
Correct, you've hit it on the head, the reason being, that, except for enthusiasts like us, & Defender "Tragics" like us, no-one really cares,...the Defender does not "rate" in the Aussie market,...hasn't for many years.
"We" think's it's awesome, a "Defender" of the faith etc, but not many else do.
Hense little interest in the Aussie motoring press. But, I don't care, I've got mine.
What will the future hold?...Pickles.

Spot on mate IMHO.

They are just a biased bunch of 'Jap Crap' ignoramiousis. I have little/no regard for their myopic opinion.

I am VERY pleased I have my Defender here, AND also in the UK where Jap stuff is, like in the entire European Continent, a tiny minority of 4wd sold!

Defenders rock... for a bloody good reason!
