Hello

 

Does anybody knows which model and year are my seats from ? I believe they aren't original.

 

And what trim color is this ? I think it's "mink" but I'm not sure

Possibly Innocenti in origin...?

 

Wherever they come from, they're very nice indeed.

Hmmm they look like Innocenti seats but the backrest adjusting lever seems different from those as well; so they might well be Authi. Having said that most Authi seats I've seen are different and seem to have external hinges between the seat and backrest.

That is probably an Innocenti brochure? Your seats could be the originals for your car.

The folding Authi seats were fitted to an earlier model.

I'll try to find the whole brochure but it does not look like Innocenti. It is a swiss catalog for Mini 1000 Spezial. Maybe you remember the Authi parts catalog which shows my car's VIN with these seats exported to Switzerland.

2 out of every 3 cars Authi exported were Swiss export model Minis (6000 Minis in 1973).

Swiss new car buyers demanded style & quality -hence the Swiss Export model having these fitted instead of the usual Authi seats.
