Hi, Would these seats recovered in Porcelain Green be correct for a 1961 Mini.

Thanks Dave.

Sorry, I may have not been very clear in my O.P, What should have asked is the pattern of the coverings correct to
be replicated when the new covers are made for my early MK1.

Thanks Dave.

Does this help? It's 1964 mind.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I think after looking at the link that I will stick with the way they are & have them redone in Porcelain Green.

Cheers Dave.

Newton have specific patterns for each model, hopefully they’d have the correct style?

Thanks for the link, I did look at this earlier & I think from looking at their options that the seat coverings on my grey ones may have been available from 61, but not 100% sure.

Both the 1961 and 1962 Minis I have owned had the two tone seats with the grey fleck inserts.

Not sure about 61, but my 62 deluxe is grey fleck as below

Frames look same as those though, I think early frames are different but not sure how early the change was
Grey fleck can alter in number of panels on earlier cars,
Mine has grey fleck dash surrounds, but door cards and rear arch covers are green to match seats
Hope his helps

Thanks everyone, great information and greatly appreciated.

Cheers Dave.
