Chris59 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Pete, I have a pair of black seats who may well be from a MX5 in my Vincent Hurricane, I won't keep them. Don't know if they are leather or not, sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have a pair of shadow blue MX5 seats if anyone is interested. Fitted a pair of Ridgard seats to a customers car so he has asked if I could sell them for him Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello Chris, I have an extremely good pair of seat bought from Ken of Doretti fame, he sold me them at an extremely fair price, ( nice bloke too ) and I have fitted them into my De Tomaso. They fit well but a nice black leather set would be nice!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 These seats don't come cheaply so I would expect some photos to support any options. OK - could make contact and provide photos by email. AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KOB Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Quite happy to post pictures, but the file size will not upload on here, its too large. They came from a limited edition Jap MX5 that had really HIGH end leather trimming, the guy I bought them from was a leading light in MX5 circles and said never seen them from a UK based MX5. Quality of leather would not be out of place in a Rolls Canardly !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR 2100 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 KOB - The seats sound gorgeous - would love to see a photo, just out of interest. But - without a photo, I can't see anyone making a commitment to buy. If the image size is too large, invite prospective buyers to PM you with their email address. Tom's shadow blue seats sound lovely as well - IMO black trim is just too boring. AlanT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GT6M Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) they are the MK2.5 high backs and really need t,check on heights as thee,s seats are v v high higher than the adjustable head rest type and, ina GT,wid oot any roof lining as such, they touch the roof,or the weft of fabric ona Spitty,they would fould the soft top So, better check height, as ye may find that yer roof cant go up or doon Look at the link I bunged up, measurements are there or here http://s545.photobucket.com/user/marcusaurailius/library/GT6%20%20MX5%20seats?sort=6&postlogin=true&page=1 And, the seat base is HARD, you sit on them, not in them thee,s are a totally diff annimal to the other seats And, if yer MK1 Arsche End is lets say, got a bit of ..Padding on it, they ye will be sitting along way upI took 3 inch oot of the base foam, see pic I got no much Arsche padding, but me heed was just touching roof and I was looking at the screen top,not the middle One bloke woe has a bit of padding in the Arsche end, had to sit wid his neck bent at a v v jaunty angle, Ye been warned, really really need to check Butt,follow me mods, an they are v v comfy wid plenty of side support and a real good looker too M Edited March 30, 2017 by GT6M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlanT Your Right Alan, my Pantera trim was ALL black and like a mausoleum so I changed some for a lighter colour also fitted MX5 cloth seats, with separate headrests which personally I prefer.
