Thanks Lads.

seats are out of an Alfa. back seats even fit in reasonably OK. Base of back fits in not a bother but the area over the wheel arch is exposed when the back of the back seat is in place..

dead comfy too.. although not ideal for anyone over 6ft2 :) :)

don't know to be honest. just know they are from a 3 door alfa because the seat tilts forward and thw alfa symbol is embosses into the. I was looking for 156 seats and came across these but the seller didn't know that they came off.

Danny,

Do these seats restrict access to the back much and did you have to make up a subframe?

Would love to see them sometime.

I'm after tracking down a full black leather interior out of a 147 but don't want to commit till I'm sure it would work. They're a heck of a lot cheaper than the Mini leather set.

Minicac is spot on.

I found a excellent full set of Alfa GTV seats in Cork this afternoon in very dark grey. I'm after black so I'll pass. If anyone wants details, PM me.
