Has anyone got a remedy to rid Vinyl of its nasty smell
Smells like old oil sort of thing
What i have read its the vinyl letting off VOC's

That's BMC GOLD :D and can't be replicated with today's modern materials so take a big breath and enjoy that history

More like Carcinogenic
Does anyone make slip on seat covers for minis
This would help with Sweaty Crack Syndrome

Opening the doors and windows for an hour or so out in the fresh air (assuming you aren't in a big City!) can help...and throw a bath towel over the drivers seat to prevent stickiness :D

I have done all that
Thought some nicely made seat covers would be better

Its usually pretty hard to find seat covers that are a good fit, because mini seats are so small. Its pretty simple to trim down a cheap set to fit though. A few minutes with your Mum's sewing machine and you have a nice custom fitted set. If you can clip them on underneath it keeps them tight and looking good.
