hi are these MM seats
as i have 2 .<br><br>
they have a steal frame and are rounder at the top than most other minor seats i have seen
any ways you can let me know
mark..

No those are Series II seats. MM seats have horizontal pleats.

And have bolstered backs to hold you in round the corners!

what are they off

A Series II - an early Morris Minor, just not as early as a Series MM

I have a series 2 and mine are horizontal, (they're not for sale though) ;). They look nothing like the one in the piccy.

they fold forward (top) just like a van seat but not out a van as they are black came out a garage clear-out i did a few weeks ago .
lots of old stuff
any one interested in them (seats x2) get in touch as i cant keep them for long .

can any one post up a pic of a MM seat .

The seats are like the ones in this car:

they look like the ones i have only different covers.
have been told the old boy i got them off had a 1953 split window 2 door.

I've got a pair of MM seats without covers which are going spare. They were in my 'just in case' or 'may be useful' pile for my own MM rebuild but I don't think I'll need them. I'll try and get a photo today.

Yep , same seats as mine (but 4 door version). Thanks louise. Mine must be one of the very very early series II, which is nice to know.

Hi Dean

Series 11 carried on with the MM style seats until October 1953 - mine is May '53 & has them.

Thanks Rog.

Dean, The earliest Series IIs would have had the same interior as the last Series MMs. Morris Motors had a habit of updating one thing at a time. Have you got the Morris back axle?

I have a rear axle on the car yes, if that's what you mean. Recently degreased, wire brushed, painted and refilled with oil. I do have the MM dashboard and clocks in it, with the gold coloured covers. It has a smiths heater and a passenger sunvisor too, which I think was an extra back then. It was fitted with a goldseal 803cc at some point as this is what's in it at the moment.

The Morris back axle is the one piece square diff casing unit not the type fitted to the M1000 with the removeable diff.

Just checked my manual and I can confirm it is the old square type.

A lot of people considered the MM seat more comfortable than the later ones!
