Nice part about Miata seats is that custom seat covers are readily available from Mr. Mike http://www.mrmikes.com/miata_to_triumph.htm
I’ve had mine in my 6 for about 7 years now and love them.

I put some Mazda Miata MX5 seats in my '62 TR3 last summer. These seats are recommended in the book "How to Improve Triumph TR2-4A" by Roger Williams. They fit right in, but took some manufacturing of new seat rails, which was not difficult. They look great and are soooo comfortable. The comfort of the seats was always my biggest complaint about my TR3. I paid $60 for the pair at a wrecking yard and they are in great condition. I could now drive across country from Oregon to the east coast and be comfortable, whereas driving to the local grocery store used to be an exercise in discomfort! They don't look original, but I have taken to heart a quote I read on this forum several years ago from a TR3 owner: "I do not have a problem with making changes to my TR3 when it involves improving performance, safety, or comfort, as long as I feel it doesn't change the basic character of the car."

Hey Rye,
I have looked at the products this company for aftermarket seats. Nice stuff. Kind of pricey though.
They are mainly Porsche and Cobra replacements. I think that you will find the seats in this TR there.

I saw this photo of a TR3 with some aftermarket seats, and I'm curious if anyone knows what brand they are? Note this is a right hand drive car, so these are probably a UK brand, but hoping I can find them or something like them, in the USA.
Thanks,
Rye

Rye,
I looked again at Classic Seats and didn't find the exact seats in the TR and I looked at Cobra too. Still not exactly the same, but seam like good options to me.

Rye:
I have similar seats in both my TR3s - see pics.
I got them from my cousin, Darryl Uprichard, who owns Racetorations in the
UK. He now has a US dealer, so there may be some in the states.
