I'm on the lookout for a pair of seats for my Minor. They have to be quite narrow to fit , and I've seen the aftermarket seats fitted to Cobra replicas. Question is, does anyone know what they are like for comfort, build quality etc as I don't want to buy them off a picture on a website. I have audi TT seats fitted in my other minor, but I think they may be too wide at 20 1/2 inches.

My first car was an MGB which had very narrow seats. I considered changing them a few times and common upgrades were Pontiac Fiero and mk1 Mazda MX5/Miata/Eunos.
They apparently fit without too much hassle, so might be worth considering.

Nice seats, very comfy, but a little tight if you're fuller of figure !!!

They are 50cm at widest point, runners are 46cms at outer edges and total height is 89cm.
Great condition came from a Diahatsu Turbo thing i don't need them so i'm
open to offers if they're any use. :)

I'm now back on the hunt (got tyres sorted) - decided against the aftermarket seats, so I'm looking for a pair in black leather from Audi TT or similar.

Got a set of heated leather seats today - from a Corsa (£60). Obviously I can't use the rears :D , but the leather may get used elsewhere.
