What are those seats?

My friends dad had them in his cooper s.... He said they where made by britax .. But they look like the original recliners from an early cooper s .... So I'm not sure to be honest

refurbed contours go for £1400.00 a Pair

Never seen a recline though, maybe it's even rarer.

I have Mazda MX5 seats in mine and they are a nice size for a mini, had Subaru Impreza seats before them and they where just over kill far to big really but looked good

Hi mate any chance you could post a pic of the interior of your car showing these seats in it? ive been looking in to mx5 seats for a while, are they the early mk1 seats?

I think most classic style recaro seats fit with a bit of work.
These ones:

I recommend going for some RECARO's very nice look seats in a mini, reclining and keeping that classic look

Mine:

thanks for the pics, they look awesome, my mate has some that he doesnt want so im gonna try them but im also trying some leather z3 seats today so ill see what happens, im defiantly impressed with how they look

[adam davies]

The cobra le mans seats are very nice and a good fit for a mini, not too big nor tight. A few of the mini suppliers sell them as well with mini subfames so you don't have to mess around customising subframes

[IainNeon91]

where did you get the recaros's from?

I got them at a good 'mate rate' from a friend of my brothers, so unfortunately i can't really lead you in any particular direction to find some Defiantly worth keeping these seats as an option though!
