Wanted an original W460 The driver's seat. Really any condition considered, but would prefer something ratty and moth eaten as it is to be rebuilt and reupholstered. Email michaelrozzell@hotmail.co.uk or message on here.

Re: Wanted - W460 Driver's Seat, Any condition considered

The front seats on my 460 seats were awful.

Fortunately the bases were sound.

Happily, I managed to source a pair of Audi 80 seats (other seats are available) and spent a jolly while mounting them onto the bases.

The principle difficulty is that there is not much room between the doors and door pockets and the transmission tunnel, so the choice of donor seats is limited.

However, it is do-able and a marked improvement.

This assumes, of course, that you have the bases in the first place.

I believe that hens' teeth are more readily available.

Good luck.

Nick.

Yes,I have the bases Nick. If I can't get a genuine drivers seat frame then my next option is to get a pair of Recaros from a Ford or Opel / Vauxhall and get them retrimed in this.

Thanks for bothering to reply.
