Hello Olof,
Glad you like them. I got them from Tillet. These seats are the Tillet B5 which fit in the Midas excellently, assuming you've not got a huge rear
.
There is some nominal black suede leather padding in the seats for your headrest and in the seat and in the back back. They are not cheap mind you at £327+VAT. I gave Tillet a call and managed to negotiate a set with Steve for a bit less money as they were set up to suit a special Lotus Elise in South Africa which got written off before the seats were shipped.
They weigh about 5kg each and are double skinned. A lot less than the seats I took out which weighed about 30kg each! So I did notice a difference in performance especially with car coming on cam sooner.
Here is a link:

My convertible uses flint grey TVR 'S' leather seats which I bought direct from TVR when they still existed as a going concern which also fit well in both Coupe and Convertible very well but are heavier.
Cheers,
David
