Oops! I forgot to mention that as one of the prime characteristics of these
little beasts! To from one of these to a GT-6 is a rather bizarre act...
the GT-6 has the pedals offset in the other direction.

Yes. The front seats are more desireable than the Mini's because they have
additional padding, a headrest, and more of a bucket to keep your derierre
from sliding into the other seat while cornering. There's a slight
disadvantage because they'll sit higher than Mini seats and just barely fit
the width of a Mini. The extra padding is nice, but if you're over 5'10",
then your head will be constantly brushing the headliner... I use the seats
for autocrossing because I can then see the fenders clearly.
