The seats are in this car (looking through the rest of the pictures in that Photobucket album. Nice car!) It's supercharged too.

I reckon the headrests look a bit custom.
Here's a thought - have you tried emailing him and asking the owner?

While I was lurking his album I commented a picture of the car asking what the seats were.
I'm no Photobucket pro, and couldn't find an email address.

I'll let this thread know if he replies.

According to that Cars cardomain site the seats are re-trimmed brides. He has had 4 sets of seats in the car.

Eunos speaker seats
Rx7 seater seats from older rex
Cobra Clubman's
Bride Leather and Alacantra


In case you are wondering how I found that.

The photobucket properties show the user name as d666g. A quick google search found:

i remember this debate on CR.net, the buyer bought them from ebay, and the add stated that they were a bride seat, funny that bride have never made a seat like that though.

Looking for those ones that IH8 posted that fitted into the white NA.

It's similar to the suzuki but it's not exactly that... hard to find aftermarket leather seats that have mx5 brackets already... *sigh

The leather seats from a NB8B will fit in all NA or NB models and are supposed to be the most comfortable MX-5 seat (at least before the NC came along). The NC seats have been fitted to a NB by someone here (MX5Chic?).

True... but i haven't seen a pair of NB seats for sale at all for the last few months, let alone leather ones.

There is a pair of leather seats for sale now but at $1100 for 2nd hand i might as well go venture out to the non-mazda seats right?
