I am absolutely loving those seats! I wonder if I could get something like those for the '66 +4 I'm resto-modding...

WOW! Thats the real business there!! Those seats are amazing,but at the same time, it kind of look out of place in such traditional styling, are those seats standard? I remember saying a few years ago, I wanted an Aero8 chassis with Plus 8 styling, it would be my perfect Morgan!!  When are you going to come up norf to take me for a spin in it? I'll buy you a kebab!!

They are Tillett seats and a similar version is fitted to the Classic range (Baby Doll in particular) http://www.tillett.co.uk/MMC trim them but the carbon fibre seat is stock, and the narrower version fits in the Classic range well.

Andy
the Tillet seats, do they mount on the original frames and go back and forwards or are they fixed. My flexibility is not what it was and with the smaller door opening I tend to find this a lot more comfy getting in and out.
It looks to be a Tillet B5 which has been trimmed and finished to match in which is very nice.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Not sure whether they mount on original frames or bespoke but they definitely move fore and aft, and more so as thinner.

Are the '66 cars on a narrower chassis? The Tillets might be a tad too wide.

Are the '66 cars on a narrower chassis? The Tillets might be a tad too wide. Are you thinking the cabin space may be too narrow, or the mounting points may not be in the right places (or both)? I'm actually custom / rebuilding a chassis for my '66, so I can potentially make accommodations for something like that. I'd definitely like to know more about my seat options for the car.  By the way, sorry for the thread hijacking! That car looks stunning!
