Seats

[dave_kitson]

Has anyone considered using the seats from a Smart car in any model of Marlin? Has anyone sized them up? Has anyone got a Smart of any sort and can attest to their comfort, adjustability, size and so on?

Smarts have been around long enough now for a few to be broken up, and I've just been browsing eBay and spotted a few. Some are in leather and some are heated so you can really go for luxury! I've also spotted a firm who make leather covers for them if you want a particular colour.

Here's one to check out on eBay if you're interested, starting at 40 quid:

Re: Seats

they are about 2" too wide for the roadster :-(

Re: Seats

Hi Cameron
Do you know the overall width of the seat squab at the front? That seems to be the critical point in the Cabrio.

Re: Seats

Hi Dave I emailed the vendor and he said it was 49cm max. hth

Re: Seats

Hi Cameron
Don't think they will fit in that case. Need 46cm max in the Cabrio, probably less in other models. Thanks.

Can't beat the seats i got from Great British Sports Cars last year, narrow enough for a SWB roadster, well finished, and comfortable (quite cheap too about £120 for the pair)

Hi Merv, did they have head restraints?
