    Where are these seats from?

    I'd be grateful for any information or ideas folks may have on these Recaro Classic like seats and what they might have come out of.

    They were made in Oct. '95, have no electrics or tilt forward but do have lumbar and recline. The seat frames are flat with seat belt mounts and the driver's side frame has height adjustment.

      I have no idea but I'd guess a RHD car as the height adjustment is only on one (drivers) side.

          I have checked. They are indeed from a rover 4 door model.
          The way the headrest fits into bolsters and fabric pattern were the give a way for me.
          I do recall they were my favourite bit of his old rover...

                    When I was young lad working as a KP in a local pub, the chef had a Rover 216GTi. From what I recall, it was made from paper clips but he loved it.
