Standard seats or modern

[Trafalgar blue]

If you were looking to purchase a minor would you prefer the standard seats or some modern black leather ones?

Hi,
My seats are recovered standard ones with a little extra padding, I find them perfectly comfortable, even for long journeys.
Others have even commented how comfortable the back seat is.
I think it really depends on what look you are going for, the only thing they lack is a head rest, which I have never found to be a problem.
Best wishes,
Mike.

for safety and a little more comfort ,best = modern ,but for everything else standard.

ps. unless you have moderns with headrests ,you CAN NOT take a driving test if you have standard seats

[jagnut66]

I have to say that I regard modern as an alternative but not necessarily the best, as that is a matter of personal perception.
Best is subjective and depends entirely on one persons viewpoint.
Also modern always looks just that and stands out because of it, so we are back to personal choice / taste again.

I really can't make up my mind, I've always liked the black leather interior, and I've got the chance of a set at a good price. I've also been offered a standard front passenger seat that if I went for that I'd use to replace my ripped drivers seat. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep the car

jag I didn't mean modern was best,but if you want safer , then a modern with a head rest is better

If you're not going to keep the car does it matter?

Yes If it'd devalue the car

Yes If it'd devalue the car

If you thinking you MAY sell the car always keep it standard, majority of people prefer standard cars...

[lambrettalad]

I've kept all the classic bits n bobs,so if the new owner whats to revert to basic ,they can,for no extra doe

tho why anyone would want to take out the heated rear screen ,is way way beyond me

If it was a car I was going to drive every day, decent modern seats (preferably from Newton Commercial) would be a huge plus; I'd be fitting them & a few other upgrades too.
If it were a Sunday driver car, an original MM or Series II I'd expect original seats.
