The car in the first picture has been re trimmed differently to original.

This thread show the 3 patterns generally used from 65 on Mk 1 and 2 mini sedans.

Interesting ! Thanks phil. The black trim pattern is intriguing and I'll tell you why ... If it had been retrimmed at the same time to that same pattern you would expect both sets of seats would have the same vinyl. However the front two seats have been sprayed black and are originally blue vinyl, and the rear seat is black vinyl no spray. Interesting conundrum.
Has anybody else seen this as a pattern or has the same ?

The black trim pattern is similar to 64-67 but note there are only 5 strips. The original pattern from 64 to 67 had the 6 narrow strips front seats and 7 in rear per side.

The grain in that rear seat is much coarser than used back then. I'm not sure what the rear seat is from,possibly custom pattern, but it's not from any 60's Aussie Mini. I'd say someone has dyed and trimmed the fronts to match the rear.
