Black leather bucket seats

[monty400k]

Hi, I'm looking for a set of black leather buckets for my MGB project, not sure if I want to go with full on Cobra etc style racing buckets, quite fancy something retro from another car that better suits the age and style of the car, I spotted Alfa GTV seats that look great, other than the Alfa logo, does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations??

Hi Monty

MX5 seats work quite well and no branding! Also look at people like Moss and Rimmer as they have clubman low back buckets for a period feel.

The clubman low buckets as suggssted always look good in my opinion

MGF leather can be had for peanuts.....

Thanks, those mgf seats look promising, not a fan of low backs, always think a seat looks weird without a seperate headrest, will have a look round some local scrappies for mgfs

Ford Ka? They're getting to be a popular fit in Minors, so should be OK width-wise

If I recall correctly, the mgf seats don't quite fit in the mgb, think I saw a guy trying it somewhere online

Looks like a bit of modification/fabrication to make them fit

Got a pair of black leather Elise seats with subframes, not mint but in pretty good condition for the money, they fit perfectly in the B, nice and low, does anyone have any recommendations on how to feed/treat the leather to get them looking their best??
