    I think (sure duncan will correct me if I'm wrong ) that they *are* metro seats, remodelled a little (the frame at the bottom) to fit Minis. They're in all cars about that age - from '92 onwards (my half leather ones in the ol' cooper were fab!)

    If you're looking to replace the covers.. you could always try Newton Commercial
    although they can be a bit pricey..

    Huddersfield Mini Spares might be worth a shot, have always had good service from them in the past.

    Spot on LnL except they were fitted from July / Aug 1993 (L reg onwards)
    The Cooper trimmed versions of these seats are my favourites (fitted to Coopers from 93 to 95) but are pricey - several hundred second hand

    do not get the cobra classic bucket seats as the foam in them is very soft and starts to sag very quickly as i had one in my mini before i got the cobra clubman seats which are far better and you cant get anyone in the back seats very easily
