Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
What can transform a peaceful sylvan lawn in Gold Country into a carnival overnight? The annual Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party of course! Those who were there got to see first hand all the eye candy, but for those who were not, the Mini's ranged from an electric Moke to a VTEC powered Classic, to Randy Steven's tricked out CVT to Robert Holt’s Purple Haze convertible to three full on Mini race cars: my sprint car, Jacques Andres' enduro car and Eric and Colin Herricks's rally car, and many in between.

Race Report -USTCC

Infineon Raceway, April 11, 2008.
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
My Mini has a new setup for this race. Speed parts from my sponsor Mini Mania have been added by my sponsor Bay Bridge Motors and USTCC sponsor Nitto has provided four brand new NT 01 tires. This will be my first official race with the US Touring Car Championship and I look forward to hitting the grid with more horsepower and quicker lap times.

MINI Clubman Review

Published: 21st April 2008
The new MINI was launched in 2001, to much acclaim. Although bigger than the original Mini, what it lacked in rear legroom, it made up for in unusual styling and a vast array of personalisation elements, much loved by a local estate agent.

The MINI Clubman has the same raft of options but its main benefit is the extra length, which should make rear passengers happier.

I have two seats for sale, from a '79. Great condition. One tiny 1/8" hole in driver's LHD seat, but otherwise quite nice. All mounting frames, mechanism, including PULL knob. I can easily ship them to you, for exact shipping cost from Oakland, CA. I have a friend who is west coast Recaro distributor, so seat boxes available. Make me a reasonable offer and they are yours.

Pic probably too big, so here's a link.

I'm just looking for the more "standard" low back seats. No headrest, just simple seats.

Here's what I have now, not really a good picture but I'm pretty sure they're not from a Mini. Although it is nice that they tilt foward and slide up down and around, but I'm looking for something simpler.

Willie_B has offered to sell me some seats that he has so I'll explore that avenue and see how it goes.

Sounds like he might be satisfied with the more common low back seats.

Those seats are indeed innocenti seats. I know someone who just took some of those seats out of his inno in favor of mk4 single post headrest seats (I'm not sure why). Not sure if he is willing to sell them, but if you want those exact seats in that exact color, I can forward to him your contact info if you email me.

my guess is mayfair seats with the single post headrest removed?


I'm picking out a Thermos for you. Not an ordinary Thermos for you. But the extra best Thermos that you can buy, with vinyl and stripes and a cup built right in.

I'm no authority, but those you have pictured look like Authi or Innocenti Mini seats to me.

Was this a random or specific picture of the exact seats you want, or are you  just wanting a standard  Mini seat that hinges at the front?   (if you ARE wanting the former, I suspect they'll be harder to find)

 

       ~ 30 minutes in a Mini is more therapeutic than 3 sessions @ the shrink. ~

For Sale or Trade: 1961 Land Rover Series II 88" -$5k or a Mini

Looking to buy some seats for my Mini. I'm not too well versed on the differences in seats that were around from year to year, but I do know what style I want:

I'm looking for ones similar to those in the picture, just the simple seat that attaches in the front and flips forward so you can get into the back seat. Reclining or other adjustability isn't necessary (keep it simple stupid)

Condition of the coverings is not important as I will be getting them recovered and refoamed if needed.

If anyone happens to be within a few hours drive of Chicago I would be willing to come pick them up. Otherwise they'll need to be shipped.
