I think that the seats are something classic British tho' like a Jag, Bentley or a Roller.

I think it might be the furniture Jeremy (I think it was him) made from his awful cheap Porsche they brought in SE5EP3

Nah, that 928 had cloth/fabric seats.

I completely agree. The idea of the old furniture was funny for a bit, and I know the original set was burned in the fire, but don't fix what isn't broken.

Table looks like it might be a V12 - Possibly an old Jag V12?

if it is, i think we all know the car it may have came from.

The table is definitely on a V-12 engine block; notice the six cylinders visible in that pic. It's probably from a V-12 XJS, considering how 1) relatively plentiful and 2) unreliable they tend to be.

Hey, it could be a straight 6 that's only slanted a bit.

Yeah, but would Top Gear be that half-assed? Wait...

My dad said it was a V12, but not sure where the engine is from.

I was pondering that one as well. I think the original grey seats were from an old Vauxhall Senator if I remember correctly. These new ones look 70's or possibly early 80's in style but as to the source......sodomat non sapiens*. They look quite British in style, and given the V12 used in the table I would guess at an old Jag/Daimler saloon.

*In other words I'm buggered if I know!

As I said in the other thread where these were posted, it looks to me like it's off an old Rolls or Bentley, probably from the 70s.

I seem to remember Rollers having those angled headrests in the back... they're angled away from each other, which is unusual.

[jo-jo-action]

I think Rolls is right.
After google search i found this:

You're welcome, although it's not originally mine. Come from one of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, "Mort". They're worth checking out if you've never read them.

These are Red i know, but there off a Rolls Royce silver cloud, i recognised the headreast immediatly. But if you look at the design of the seat they are simular if not the same:
