I need to see some retro-seats and interiors for ideas and motivation. Preferably black-leather-seventies-stylee.
Anyone?

They're my favourite off-the-shelf bucketseat for sure, but I'm looking something a bit less bucketty (?) and no headrest. I've seen nice ones in Mini's, Callooks and MkI Golfs and what not, but ofcourse I can't find them anywhere now..

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Any idea where i could get seats like this then?
Looking for interesting and/or cheap bucket(s) to fit in the MR2, the regular seats are not so accomodating to my gangly legs!

Cool! Loving those seats you posted Rmad, but I also would like to know what they are??
Also, whats the general consensus on seats without headrests? I was tempted to take the headrests out of some seats I had, but was worried my head would snap off in the event of an impact........... Are they safe then?

Only had one car with headrests and that was the one newer car we owned  I got hit from behind when my A35 was written off. My glasses ended up on the back seat as my head snapped back and they flew off. Had a sore neck for a week or so and my shoulder still freezes up sometimes. Headrests are obviously a safety improvement but in the end its up to you. I won't drive without seatbelts but I know people who won't put them in cars not fitted with them. |

Hmm, suppose I don't think twice about sitting in the back of a car without rear headrests.......... might try it without and just slouch in the seat a bit when driving |

I love the look of low back seats with racing harnesses and i'm tempted to fit them in the cortina but the safty issue has always put me off a bit.

Jeez, i have just realised, being a two seater, could go headrestless and glue a cushion on the back window, that'd be cool, ya? cos id be using up all the floor space with my crazy legs... we're onto something |

These are the seats I have in my 510. I got them of ebay. They are retro looking enough to suit the car but still safe enough for track use. The only disadvantage and the reason i may change them when it goes back on the road is they have no facility for the rest of my 5 point harnesses so I can only use them as four points.  -Ed |
