Does anybody know of anybody who makes Mk 1 recliner seats for Minis (other than Newton) I am keen to get hold of some for my Cooper S as I reallly can't get on with standard seats. Cheers. Mark

I think you're gonna be limited to Newton's Mark , what about going for a period bucket like a Microcell ? Gareth on here does a VERY accurate and comfortable repro .

Thanks Pete,
Yes,with those seats you are definitely limited to 'Newton'.Unless you can source an old pair ripe for restoration.
Alternatively ,if your interested I could offer you a pair of original 'Microcell' recliners,restored and ready to fit, something like these.
Cheers Gareth

Ashley James in Blackrod (near Bolton) can supply frames and covers. (

Also, they have had the gold brocade reproduced and unlike the Newton one, theirs is wide enough to cover the rear parcel shelf without a join
