Maybe the vinyl covers use coir.  In the UK, most of our 1600A and
TA Type 3s have black vinyl low-backs, all years.  Mine are less
common, they are the off-white ones often fitted to green cars.  We
weren't offered cloth unless we ordered it specially, at even more
cost.  There's always bits of what I assumed was wood-wool lying
under the seats, but it does look very much like the air-filter
filling now I come to think of it.

The US spec high-backs on the special order 1600L Variant project
are filled with something softer, but have sagged badly!  Maybe
that's the imitation horsehair.
