Re: Just bought an Mini Mk3 1973
My mk3 S had the low back recliners in the same navy vinyl.
Not sure if you can fit the covers onto a later low back reclining seat that are pretty common and should be cheap.

Looking good, BUT that should be a wooden clothes peg on the choke to be period correct.
Nice looking seats similar to the Corbeau gt4.

Re: Just bought an Mini Mk3 1973
The low back recliners I bought are oke but to small for me
so I will have to sell them on to someone els.
Will buy others when they are sold but not from the internet, I have
to see see them first and try them.
Did buy the otherday an very good set original LP883 4.5x10 steel Cooper S rims.
On them are four almost new Yokohama tyres A008

Re: Just bought an Mini Mk3 1973
First an MOT for the two Mini's at the end of the month.
After that my sumpgard, RH tank and an Manyflow exhaust.
Still have to buy the exhaust at the IMM in the UK.
Getting an spare Rose Petal wheel in the back and puting
the bucket seats in ( did not sell them ).

Re: Just bought an Mini Mk3 1973
Yes they are a bit narrow round the hips but
after a while they will be oké.
Especially in the cornering work they are better than
the original seats I have now
