They are called Momo seats. They were offered in UK ph1 cars as an optional extra. I've attached a couple of pages from a 1997 brochure. Not to say WHEELNUT hasn't fitted them from a ph2 car.

WHEELNUT your car looks very clean, something for me to aspire to with mine

I think the acid green Spiders are becoming increasingly rare as they were only produced over 2/3 years !! Its good that this 1 is being saved and put back on the road

Updated with pictures. Thanks for sorting !!

The acid green Spider is waiting patiently for the good used engine to be fitted. I'm not a million miles away from starting the stripdown of the original engine that is in the car. I've finished unbolting the dona engine and the car can be lifted away to reveal the lump on a pallet. My Proteo Spider is finally painted and looking clean. Andy

I have a framed picture of the trailer that used to carry those cars from 1 place to another !! -
Just giving you a little bit more information about the Spider. I found time to take a good look at the green spider over the weekend. It turns out it has a knackered engine from too much oil in the motor. The previous owner had at some point fitted a shorter dipstick by mistake, I guess from either a 1.6 or a 1.8 TS. He rebuilt the head once after the valves bent and didn't work out what the problem was even when it happened again !! I have another good used 2.0L engine to fit just to get the car mobile. I plan to lighten & balance the bottom end with new shells and piston ring, I will also rebuild the top end at and fit at a later date. Next update will be engine stripdown to make room for the used unit....

Well spotted !! The Silver GTV in the background is mine, it came in yesterday. My proteo Spider is in the paint shop as we speak, I took this picture today.

Nice collection of cars !!

Very good !! I like the T shirts, how much will they be? Andy

Yes I agree with Fabian and also voted no. This forum is unique and half of its appeal to me is all the members interacting from different countries. Not like other forums where you mainly communicate with the "natives" Andy
-
I like what you've done with the interior !! The black center console mod is a "must have" item if you own a ph2 !! Good work
-
Do you have any pictures with them on a car please?
