I did have these for sale but not much response... bought for a project that I sold on due to another project... Was going to put them in my O/H's red MX5 MK1would fit very nicely... but she prefers the cloth tombstone seats. I need the space in my garage so they are now up as giveaways... Just two provisos: 1) They will need to be collected or collection and transport arranged. 2) I'd like to know, would prefer at any rate... that they are going to go into a forum member's car rather than be sold on... They are in great condition, but sitting around in my garage will now need a good vacuuming... maybe a shampoo. I'm not going to say something silly like... If no-one wants them they'll go to a recycle or refuse centre.... they are too good for that. So... first come first served who can meet provisos 1 and 2.... They are yours

That's a very generous gesture! Are they a direct replacement? (Are they mk1/mk2 OEM seats? They look familiar... lol) Would they drop the driver lower than the tombstones, do you know?

Hi Wannabe... They were i believe from a mk2... can't be sure as I never saw the vehicle which was an MOT write off and the guy I bought them from had stripped out all the mechanicals for a Caterham 7 he was building and I simply bought the seats... I could try taking a seat out of my O/H's mk 1 and putting a seat in to answer your questions, but that would be a lot of work... especially in this weather... The seats, squabs and backrests (disregarding head restraints for the moment) seem pretty close in dimensions... I can't see the seats being any lower than the current cloth seats in our mk1... I'm always joking you need leather seats to your strides... the seats and car are so low you scrape your backside on the road... but that of course is the charm of the MX5... sits flat and square to the road...

If they are OEM then they are 10AE seats.
