Late model Mini seats are based on metro designs but have the Mini base
so can be fitted to any Mini, they can be sourced at most mini
specialists second hand and are cheaper than new sports buckets plus
subframes....

Would Metro seats be any good?

Seats from a late model scrapped mini will fit right in without the
need for a seat subframe at extra cost.....

Want to replace the standard seat for something more comfortable &
supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to
make it easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions?

Well i've seen lots of nice later model Mini reclining seats on E-Bay,
just click in "Mini Seats" under "Car Parts & Vehicles" and away you
go.

I'm after some good replacements for my Mini, but the only trouble is
you generally have to collect the items as their too big and heavy to
send via standard post.

Managed to get hold of a pair of 'sports ka' black leather seats, tilt,
slide, raise & lower, heated etc etc, subframes were easy to fabricate &
they fit a treat. I would recommend.
Pictures available on request.

this car a real pleasure. Your views would be appreciated.

They certainly look the business and look like they were made to
measure. Nice Mini too!
