Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi, my grandad has ordered me the suffolk recyclining seats in Duotone ( green and white), and i just wondered if any one has them in duotone so i can see what they look like.

Thanks

WOW! How much money does he have lying around for you?!

well alex, it cost 2227 for the seats, back seat covers, front door cards and back 1/4 cards and kick panels, a parcel shelf, 2 glovebox's ,headlining, carpet and a carpet for boot, so my grandad must have some money some where.

To be honest Ben, are the looks that important? Are you going to refuse an offer like that? I think it will look fantastic.
Go for it, and buy him a bottle of his favourite!

Phil.

yes i know im lucky when i get them about the 6th September and they come out of the box i will take a pic to show you all.

Just don't ruin Grandads interior with your 'sik modz'!

I have seen a friends interior and its brilliant and he had it done by a local upholsterer £450 bargain

Couldda bought another complete minor!

That said, the newton stuff does look 100% amazing. Duotone will brake mathematical rules and in true 'sports motivational bs style' double that to 200% easily imho.

Have u got a picture?

I havent im,e afraid as the minor was sold but i will ask the upholsterer if he has

That's more than I paid for my whole car (and I think I paid more than it was worth!)

I like the newton seats, wish I had some with headrests, seems safer!

you could wack in a set of Metro front seats. there about £20 on ebay plus the bases.

already brought the newtons now, and i like them better

I agree if I had the money I would buy them in a flash, I was mearly giving hanvyj another option to get seats with headrests.

Make sure you get some pics up.

I believe newton seats are based on metro seats anyway, just with expensive covers

Yeah, I'll just keep an eye out for some to come up - no way am I spending that much! Unless I was rich or something.

I would probably try to make my own covers for metro seats first! Or, because my interior is a bit faded get everything done by someone who knows what they are doing for (probably) much less than the price of two seats like someone said above, can't be much more to do metro seats instead of standard and its something I would have to do to get it really nice anyway.

Metro seats are a little large I found.
I had a set of VDP 'leather' ones in my old minor and they frankly take up too much space.

Early Ford seats are much smaller. I'd just get a nice set of XR2/XR3 Ford seats cheap and fit them. They have the side bolsters without being too 'racey' (unlike the Recaro variety) and are pretty comfy in my experience.
You can bodge up a subrame to fit the Ford rails to fairly easily as used on their own they'd put the seat too low.
