Want to replace the standard seat for something more comfortable & supportive, would like to go for something that tilts & slides to make it easier for people to get into the back. Any suggestions?

Seats from a late model scrapped mini will fit right in without the need for a seat subframe at extra cost.....
Would Metro seats be any good?
Metro seats generally need a special subframe to allow them to be bolted to the Mini's cross-member.

Late model Mini seats are based on metro designs but have the Mini base so can be fitted to any Mini, they can be sourced at most mini specialists second hand and are cheaper than new sports buckets plus subframes....
Anyone tried Fiat cinquicento sport seats?
I'm using half leather seats from a Rover Coupe. I made up some mountings for the front to bolt the runners to the Mini mounts and welded some feet on at the rear that bolt through the floor.
i've got seats from an Alfa
fits fine and very comfortable !!!
can easily be homemade:

The Metro seat rails look very similar to my Rover coupé items your mounting method is quite neat.
Thanks for the info, now I am hunting a pair of Metro seats so I can have a look see...there may be a pair at a bodyshop down the road...I'll keep you guys posted!
Anyone tried 'Bini' seats?
