I've seen a set guised as a classic mini set on Ebay, and I quite like them to be honest

most vw seats run on runners in/on top of the floor then mount with a single bolt fitting at the front to hold them in place or removed to take the seats in and out.

have you a link you could show us to be safe though?

Anything can be made to fit as long as the seat is not to wide, access to the rear seats is often made more awkward...but it won't be straight forward unless you can fabricate brackets and have an engineering mind?.......those seats look quite tatty and I would not bother personally. Find some good secondhand Recaro's or some new aftermarket Mini seats would be far better.

Its finished now, but in hindsight the PP is right, they were very worn for the price.

Description is checkerboard (not houndstooth) centre patterned black cloth seats

Theyre truly gorgeous seats in what looks immaculate condition, I cant however have bucket seats in Benny. I remember bucket seats being a squeeze to get into in my youth when I was a size 10-12, nowadays however I wouldnt stand a hope! :lol:

Thank you for looking for me though, I really appreciate it x

Could try harry bucklands scrap yard last time I went it was £15 per seat and something like £25 per leather seat they usually have plenty to try / choose from, fiesta, micra, ka but you would need to fabricate brackets to make them fit.

I dont know where Harry Bucklands garage is, is it local to me?
Ive been looking through Ebay at the interiors youve listed and found a nice set cheaply not too far away. But before I bid I need to again make sure theyll fit

Theyre item number 172866847517
