i have a pair of bmw m-tech seats which are their take on recaro's...interested?

[akku]

Scrapyard hunting is about the best bet for these on a budget. As soon as they hit eBay the R word puts the price up...

Anything from a Capri Injection to a Mk2 Astra GTE to an Isuzu Trooper...

[CR500Dom]

Sporty Cavaliers or Vectras
Astra GTE
Manta
RS Turbo
Cosworth Sierra
Alfa 33 sportwagon
Rover 620 I think with 1/2 leather

Lots of cars have recaros as standard

Rover ones tend to be cheaper for some reason ?

Nick have they got the Mesh headrests ?

Carlton Gsi 12V and 24V have recaros - they just aren't badged

[VW]

unfortunately not, its a solid headrest, could always cut a slot and get some chicken wire out ;)hehe

on the plus side though they are extremely supportive and have an adjustable leg/thigh "bolster" bit

[HoTWire]

I'm after the Mesh .. it's all about the Mesh

Recaro also made the seats for the Liberator in Blakes 7.

An ex-boss of mine worked for Recaro in the 70s and was involved with the project oddly enough.

Recaro seats are also found in busses, trains, trucks, etc. but won't be the sort you are looking for.

[Blown_Imp]

and aeroplanes, the BA flight to barcelona has recaros, full leather, I'm sure they wont miss a couple

[surprisingskoda]

recaro half leather seats are mental price when you mention golf gti, escort rs turbo, but cheap when they come from a rover 214/600series/800series...
205s/309s got them too?

[akku]

Yeah, I had a pair out of a 205 in my 100E

Sporty Suzuki Ignis has recaro's with the mesh headrests.

You can buy the headrest separately. I think that lots (perhaps even most) of car seats are Recaros...just not the right sort.

Maybe I'll do some scrap yard hunting,... any of the Somerset/Wiltshire lot up for it?

[Dave Dorson]

Fiat Strada Abarth

[HoTWire]

Thats where I first saw them and said to myself "those are the seats for me!" ...

Ooh, i wonder if they'll fit a capri seat. it might just be worth the risk and dye the yellow later
