Mini seats
Can anyone identify which model mini these seats came from?
I'm rebuilding a 1968 Mini and I'm sure these are not the correct seats.
Thanks

Re: Mini seats
They look stitched but can't tell much from pic, maybe they are mini seats with replacement covers.

Re: Mini seats
As the picture isn't that good i could be wrong but;
I think the are the genuine seats the MK2 came with;

Or at least very close, what were you expecting to see in a MK2 then??

Re: Mini seats
These are standard pattern UK MK2 seats. Very similar to the late MK1 and MK3.

Re: Mini seats
Thanks "Jack of all trades" that looks like a good match. I've surched the Internet and that's the first time I've seen a photo of the same seats. Are the seats in a Cooper or a standard Mini?

These are Cooper seats, not the ones fitted to standard minis for us non UK mini buyers.smithyrc30 wrote:These are standard pattern UK MK2 seats. Very similar to the late MK1 and MK3.

Re: Mini seats
They are not UK Cooper seats. Some late Mk 1 Mini's had seats trimmed in that style of pattern and maybe some basic 848cc Mk 2's.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who do not possess it.

Re: Mini seats
Simon, the seats in the original post are the ones us people from the mainland got even in the deluxe versions of the later MK1 and all Mk2 mini'sSimon776 wrote:They are not UK Cooper seats. Some late Mk 1 Mini's had seats trimmed in that style of pattern and maybe some basic 848cc Mk 2's.
