Mine is also a nos seat FWIW (not much, its a single example etc)

The guy in the UK was making copies on OEM LC bases. He also sold aftermarket covers, I have one on my seat as my seat was white, and I wanted black. The covers were ok, if a little thin in the detailing, ie OEM was deep stamped. He still sells the covers (info good about 3 months back). Mine is fine, i like it.

Depending on what I find may go that route. Got a couple other options to pursue.

Just learnt that Sargent can do a Gullly replica in the $400 (US) dollar range. Speak to Dane.

What seatbase would they use, stock? They do good work, I have an RZ one that has nice stitching, is cut down a little for the rider, and looks right for the bike. I'd have to look at it to recall what the other details were. I was looking for an old Corbin Gunfighter seat, but aside from looking great, they are not comfortable without redoing the foam. Couple doing that to the astronomical prices for one and companies like Sargent, which make stuff to order here in the States, are the way to go.

^ First to consider is, is there a market?

Second, Sargent, as with other custom seat outfits, use what you bring them. Unless that 400 dollar quote was for using a custom seatbase and all new foam, then what you are getting is cutdown stock foam with theirs added.

The biggest stock foible genuine Gully seats address is the stocker's front plastic hook, which almost invariably ends chewed up over the years. A copy, if it uses the stock base, needs a custom front tongue akin to the Gully solution.

Dont chuck old seat bases away just cos the hook or tang is trashed, you can repair them with a soldering iron and some plastic. Find something that feels close to the same type and slowly add back the chewed stuff. take it easy and dont breathe in the fumes.

This is one that needs a bit more finishing but shows most of the result, easily as strong as ever and another seat saved!

Mine is slightly chewed. No intention here of throwing any LC seat away.

I wish I knew those could be repaired. I've thrown away a few LC seats from various parts bikes I've purchased. Live and learn I guess.

Cover up for auction - appeared to have been fitted once already according to the underlay creasing. Seconds perhaps? Current bid $51 Cnd,
