Elma fud Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Have seen XJS seats fitted so you can have electic heated seats for those winter mornings and they tilt unlike the popular MX5 seats fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted User Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 T H E S E (if you can find any...) Les Leston seats from a Bond Equipe. Wonderfully comfortable, don't take up much space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they now go under the name 'Paradise Club Classic Saabs' Google them. Mine are velour but leather ones are more expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Keep in mind that there's less room in a convertible. Your seat options are massively reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
