The Auto Style Type MO Bucket Seat (part SS 77) is a fixed-back fibreglass seat at £245.60, the most trim-flexible of the three Auto Style models in this range. Where the LV and BW offer velour and vinyl, the MO adds a third trim option: textile fabric. The MO is also the only Auto Style model here with a “Black Fabric With White Racing Logo” colourway alongside the standard plain black, black with red and white stripes, and red.
At £245.60 the MO is the least expensive of the three Auto Style seats and the one with the most finish variety. If the choice of trim material matters as much as the shell shape, this is the model to compare first.
Shell specification: fibreglass, 32-36″ waist, side-mount fixing, 4-point harness compatible, not HANS-compatible, no FIA approval. Sliders included.
The “AutoStyle Trim Material” attribute on this listing separates the textile fabric and vinyl options from the standard velour selection. Check which combination you want at the point of ordering; the trim material affects both feel and cleaning requirements.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Discover the Auto Style Type AK Reclining Sports Seat, and Auto Style Type Classic Bucket Seats Now Available to View In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible. This shell is not shaped for HANS use, so if you run a head and neck device, look at the HANS-friendly seats in the range instead. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
