I've recently bought a Mk1 turbo and currently doing a few jobs to arrive at the spec I want. The car is fantastic but to be honest I paid a bit more than I wanted as it came with RS Kevlar buckets which I believe are fairly sought after and I took the view I could sell them on to recoup some funds if required. I'm not certain I will yet as they're pretty comfortable and in great condition, ( all be it re upholstered in black ), but if I can find something else that would sit me low enough and not look out of place then it's an option that might free up cash towards other bits. I've heard all sorts of values banded around for them but what's the latest consensus? Also what would I replace them with that would fit 36" waist/6ft me? Thanks in advance, Ed

Yep will get some taken tomorrow. I fancy Cobra Classic RS as replacements but not sure if they will fit or be low enough? Anyone know if these have been fitted before? PS. New to MX5s but loving the new toy.. Put up some photatoes There are some lotus elise seats that can be made to sit lower. |

Hi. Tried to post photos but too large on phone so will need to resize and send from laptop one home. Fyi removed one today and have original stickers intact. Cheers, Ed

I’ve got Sparco Sprints which are pretty good. They’re low enough to allow me to wear a helmet without touching the hard top & I’m 6”2’

Hi Howard. Got there in the end! Will get some photos up soon. Re the seats I've got spare Corbeaus that I'm putting in temporarily. They are ok but a bit narrow for me at the thighs and as it's a road car I fancy classic buckets along the lines of Cobra GT3 or RS which offer comfort and slightly lower sides than a full race bucket. Will let you know how I get on. Cheers
