Motobecane Mirage late 80's - early 90's

Hello from Greece. My sister had a 30-year-old Motobecane Mirage in storage for 25 years. I got it, restore it and used it. It was authentic except for the saddle that had been stolen. Now I'm looking to find the original saddle but I do not remember if it was written anything on it. Only had the same color as the bike, half red, a little pink and the rest white. The fabric had a perfect texture and a great shape. Any help for the saddle? Any help for the year of the bike? Some of its features are that the rear brake cable goes through the horizontal tube, the gear levers are on the steering wheel neck and it says Motobecane and Mirage on the frame.

Unfortunately I cannot upload a photo yet

It looks like the front fork is bent.

Thanks for the reply, the fork was never straight. Probably the angle of the photo confuses you.
Ι just want to know the year of the model and if anyone knows what saddle it had.

There does not seem to be a lot of knowledge here on vintage Motobecanes. You might try this facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/VintageMotobecane/.
