Seats that fit

getting in and out is bad enough but you also gotta think what would happen in a crash.

That has coem to mind too with me, and head height etc. Those VW captains seats are great!

Thing is with most of the others is that they are kinda tall and the seat ends up a little close to the steering wheel making getting in and out a pain in the a***.
There are a few that are short enough, Porsche seats spring to mind, they have a nice flat runner too, not too bad to fit.
As for the Volvo 340 ones, they are probably one of the worst, very comfy but you can only just get your legs between the seat and the wheel, getting in and out is bad enough but you also gotta think what would happen in a crash.

Ah good point there!!!! I have heard of some early porsche ones for sale near me... just sure if they'd defo fit or not.....

Nothing "fits" it's how much work you have to do to make them fit.
In that respect Porsche seats are kinda easy, and they ain't too tall either.

I have a set of electric Porsche seats in green leather with velour centres for sale if anyone wants any.
