The Classic Mini Van was manufactured from 1960 to 1983 and the Classic Mini Pickup was manufactured from 1961 to 1983.
With regards to the interior, here is what you need to know:
Original Classic Mini front seats (including later style non-reclining with looped leg front seats, reclining without head rest front seats, single post headrest front seats, SPi front seats and MPi front seats) are all interchangeable, using the same fixing brackets.
This allows you (in a majority of instances) to very easily swap and/or change your original front seat to a different style of original front seats, if you wish.
The only original front seat that uses different fixing brackets are the early style non-reclining with vertical leg front seats, which were mainly installed in MK1 & MK2 Minis. If you wish to install early style non-reclining with vertical leg front seats into a Van or Pickup that has later brackets (for seats with with looped legs) you will need to switch the brackets over (and vice versa).
For reference, our standard product range front seat cover kits & seat retrims, for non-reclining front seats, are for the later types of frame only (with the looped frame legs). Plus, if you have early type non-reclining front seats (with the vertical frame legs) we are only able to offer seat retrims (meaning we would need your seats here at Optimise HQ to complete the retrim).
And now have the information out the way, we can get straight into the price lists:
For reference, all of the prices detailed below include items trimmed in our standard trimming ranges (our standard leatherette, standard carpet, standard perforated leatherette and standard OEM headlining options, listed accordingly).
