Seat covers and seats - Herald 1200 / 13/60

[Colin Lindsay]

Can anyone confirm that the seats on the left are original pattern 1200 and more importantly that the ones on the right are later 13/60? Don't worry about the shape; I padded them out to get into the crevices and clean the stitching before finding them to be very brittle and cracking, but when I went looking for replacements I think I've found them to be 13/60 and not early 1200 in which case I'm renovating the wrong seats... I think the 1200s have the unribbed section to the front but I've checked some suppliers just now who seem to be selling the same pattern for all Herald and Vitesse, so want to confirm.

My 1971 13/60 has seats like the lower picture  Colin.

Not so 'puffed up' though

Thanks Jeff; I think I've pulled the wrong pair from the spares pile... ah well they needed cleaning anyway.

As Taken out of my 13/60. (Assumed to be O/E). To be replaced by MX5 Seats.

Thanks Pete; same as mine. I thought they were early due to the nicer stitch pattern and lack of welded seams, plus they're not as 'blocky' but it seems they're actually later.
