I had the originals. Super comfy, but not good in hot climates.

also, Speedwell had a version made for BMWs, and BMWites are/were trying to get them recreated, more info here...

I can TOTALY vouch for the first link (Bryan Purves) quality as I just commisioned him to do a full leather interior on my Daimler SP250. The leather looks AMAZING!!! Not only that, he also happen to have rallyed Minis and wrote a book on it:-)

Try finding a pair of Sunbeam Tiger or Alpine s3 -s5 seats you will have to make up some frames to go into the mini but they fit really well and are very comfortable ,recliners and the parts can be gotten from C.A for them they are also known as Microcell seats and were used by the works team . I am working on a set for my car at the moment but will take a little while to complete the install.

I will post a wanted ad on the Mk1 forum if nothing turns up stateside. There are a couple of English firms that make replicas, but I would rather start with tatty originals.  The car is being renovated now, so not much to look at.

I'm sure you've tried the Mk1 forum already.  You must have a nice car if you're doing those (That means pics please)

This is a looong shot, but I'm looking for a pair of Restall seats.  Ratty is best, they will be retrimmed for my car.  Any leads appreciated.  Ideally after Mk1 recliners, but fixed back seats would be just as good...or one of each, or...
