    Have you checked into just having the seats you have recovered? Could be a lot cheaper.

    I just replaced my heated panther grey leather seats with race buckets. No one ever sat in the passenger seat and there are only 21K miles on the driver's seat. I also have the bottom of the back seat (not the folding upper parts) and might be willing to ship them from Washington to North Carolina. There is one problem with the passenger seat- I removed the seat belt bracket from the frame for prototyping new brackets so you would need to replace it with the hardware on your seat. Email bahawton@yahoo.com if you want to talk price & see pictures.

    Thanks to all who contacted me with help on my search for OEM leather seats to go in my R53 Cooper...I'm now about 3/4th of the way there with a pair of very nice front seats and the bottom to the rear seat in route to me via Greyhound bus today, all in Panther Black.

    Hopefully someone here can help me finish out this set....

    Now I just need to find a pair of rear seat backs....I need a pair that looks like this to match the rest of my set:

    Here is a photo of the leather front seats that match these....I don't need the front seats, just showing them here as reference...it is the pair of rear seat backs I need:
