    Toyota did not build any MR2s with black interior and blue seats.  The 
originally-black seats do fade to a purplish-bluish color, and that is, in 
all likelihood, what you have.

    Btw, Toyota also never built any red MR2s with blue interiors.  If your 
red paint is original, your seats were black.  Blue interior was 
mercifully only available in white ( Super White 043 or Super White 040 ) 
or blue ( Nautical Blue 8H3 or Tropical Blue 8B6 or just 'Blue' 8J2 ) 
cars.

    Crimson Red (3J6) cars were available with either black cloth, or black 
leather.  Super Red (3E5) cars were either black cloth, black leather, or 
black/ivory leather.
