Thanks
James

Would you be looking at the same MV6 for sale that I am ;) The one that has Elite front seats and blue dash lights.

sounds interesting, got a link to share?
-
Thanks JimBob.
They are certainly different from the ones i'm looking at. I think these ones might be out of a Lotus Carlton. Not original but hardly the end of the world either hey!!
-
FYI all omega seats, cloth and leather are all made by recaro
It just seems to be the MV6 in cloth or leather that get described as recaro though.

Most certainly http://oxford.gumtree.com/oxford/31/60954431.html the dash pic is slightly out of focus but still interesting. I'm tempted ......

Thats been fiddled with, thats got Elite seats not MV6
-
yes, someone has added those, they are fully electrically adjustable, but the memory function probably wont work iirc, personally not keen on those seats, but thats just me, many love them.
Be aware how dazzling that dash will be at night, looks too bright imho.
not the best of adverts so hard to get a good measure of the car.

That's my original comment, seeing as he has owned it for 6 months it could go two ways. Either it's been previously owned by someone with a little knowledge (note the grill change as well) and now the MOT is close he wants out, or it's a butchered basket case.
-
Looks like you have the EML and airbag light on too (I think)
depending on the seats, that may, nor may not be fixable (but will be foolable)

Here's a few picks of some that have just passed through my hands ;)
-
There were some MV6 leather and clothe odd balls around that were factory fitted, There a tighter fit around the back have Recaro stamped (leather) or stitched (clothe) in the center and had the earlier head rest with holes in them.
:-/

Thanks Pete, that definately clarifies the ones in the car we spoke about yesterday are not original.
I still can't get hold of the bloke, but I'm considering taking a punt on it anyway.
If I get there and its a nail, I can always walk away.
-
Zirk, thats exactly what these are like. So they might be original then? Should they still be heated and electric?

Could be, Ive got a set in the Garage (Clothe), Heated yes, electric only up and down, like normal MV6 non Elite.
What year, FL or Pre FL, the early ones didn't have leg extentions later ones did from memory, they were rare though.
Any Pics, your link doesnt point me to it.

You need to host them first (photobucket) then link back to that from your message.

The honest answer James, is Im not sure, I got this Pic from a current egay lissting for a Vx 3.2 MV6, These type Recaros where more common on the Opel Migs in euro land, but as said before some did find there way in factory fitted on the VX MV6 rather than the more fatty-er grey ones that are normally fitted.
The pic is of a FaceLift, so in theory they should have side air bags in the seats but you cant see that in the photo.
Still not sure what your buying, but the side air bags could be a clue as they were fitted from Mini Face upwards, 98 onwards I think, someone will probably confirm the year.

They don't fit - Carlton (Omega A) seat tracks are slightly narrower than Omega B.
