Mty Mouse, I'm interested in the seats if he passes on them. Where are you located?

Not sure where to find the fabric. I'm sure it's no longer available.
Here's a fresh set you can buy though if you're hell bent on a set.

I've also got a set in my garage you can buy if you want just the fabric. One seat has some slight damage. I'll take pictures if you're interested in entertaining a purchase.

I'd LOVE to find a source for Rover fabrics but sadly, all I have been able to come up with is Newton...and they wont sell you fabric swatches.
My car has the tan centers that, if you look closely, have a bit of red and green in it.

Go to a good trim shop they should be able to find a matching cloth or at least very close, my trim shop has only ever failed me once and that was the button hole fabric for Corbeau seats, I've just ordered new covers from corbeau USA for $119 a seat!
Mini's are like buses they come along in a bunch

I've searched high and low for the lightning pattern fabric. only sold in england by by rover. To fix a repair, I bought a rear seat in england and told the seller to keep the foam and just send fabric. The sportier style seat are less comfortable than the earlier seat but look better. They sit lower , so for longer trips you have to support your gas pedal leg with a soda can or foam cup because you have to hold your leg in an odd position which causes cramps in the leg.

I bought the interior panels off a member on here to put in my car.I do not have the seats however.I wanted to have my seats redone possibly similiar to the mini 35 seats as stated and am curious if you guys know where i could get the fabric used or something very similiar atleast.Idk why but i really love the style of the seats.I guess they offered another style in a later year maybe as ive seen them in a diff style seat but same fabric.Any info is appreciated as i dont know much about the years or if there is a place i can buy the fabric or a cover kit etc.
