Yes it was Tamworth :thumbs:

Know the car?

Could possibly be a launch but the plate had Tonbridge audi on it, so possibly their ex demo

No I dont, but when I was first looking before Xmas they offered me a 62 plate with buckets that they had coming in as a p/x in the new year. Buckets on early cars is rare so I took a punt that it might be the same car.

Other than the lumbar support, they aren't.

Check the back to see it the leather is lifting around the plastic back plate.

Ah, I see
Dealers often refer to the std seats as buckets

The seats are manual except for the lumber support. The leather around the back plate looked ok. No scratch marks around or on the plastics. I think I would have been interested if it wasn't in black

You might also render the memory seat function on your driver's door handle useless if you have the sports seat originally and subsequently install the bucket seats later on. I think it would bug me endlessly.
