From photo's I've seen of Sports some seem to have different types, standard type with vertical pattern, also fabric type with horizontal pattern..
Also this press photo one has the super/twincam type, rear seat is just visible if you zoom in on the photo, although I don't know if these are vinyl or cloth??
So as i already had a set of the super/twincam version I've gone with them Whether they are correct or not I'm not really certain but I'm pleased with them, they are more comfortable than the standard type I've got in the blue mk1, and they look fairly standard. I suppose I could always pick up a set of standard ones maybe at a later date
cheers, Stu.

Thank you, some useful information there
I suspect then that the standard type seats on my Sport have been replaced for the mex/twincam type I have now at sometime during it's life.
I'll have to use the ones I have now as they've cost me a fortune to have re-trimmed but I don't think they look too out of place in there.
cheers, Stu.

I have a Daytona yellow 1972 1300 Sport and that came with the black vynl seats but with brown corduroy inlay on the squab and back support for front and rear seats. The brown corduroy is where you'd expect to see the aerotech pattern.

Hi all, thought I'd better update the thread. The Sport passed it's MOT on Thursday, although it just scraped through with the brakes, still had air in the system but bled them again yesterday & it seems better now. Also the tappets are a little bit noisy for my liking but I can redo them once the engine has run in a bit & it should hopefully quieten them down a bit. Can't use it on the road yet as got to sort the tax out now to get it changed to Historic as it's been off the road since 1990! Anyway here's some photo's....
cheers, Stu.
