Cobras come in different models and (some?) are available in different sizes. Any decent sellers site will provide dimensions. Mine is fairly comfy.

ADRs don't really affect most Minis because they're only applicable to vehicles built after a particular ADR implementation date. (ie Mk Is don't need the pollution controls mandated under ADR 27A). Further, ADRs allow some items but (ADRs) are rendered irrelevant by (State based) registration authorities.... (metal braided (ADR compliant) brake hoses and NSW rego rules come to mind).

MX5 and some early Civic seats are comfy and small enough to fit a Mini...

Cheers, Ian

I have Cobra classic seats and recently fitted new Cobra mounts to autotechnica seats for a van.
The new mounts are nothing like my Cobra originals. They use autotechnica runners.

I had early reclining Civic Seats with headrests back in the mid 70s and they were quite comfortable but also quite heavy. I currently have Cobra lowbacks in the van, the S will be getting BadBoy classic lowbacks from the UK https://bbclassics.co.uk/products/pair- ... cket-seats
