Kingkong – other than the re-sale value (and you’ll have to ask the guys here on that one) I prefer the Recaro seats. You should try both examples out for size, I’m what you might call ‘vertically challenged’ 5’6â€

You missed out Ceramics lol, I think that will be easy to find, that will still require a high premium.

Hey King Kong, my Avant's for sale. it's a 57 plate in Phantom black with silver leather, it's got about 8k miles on it and obviously is in excellent condition.

I want £40k for it

PM me if you want the full spec (very well specced) no mods.

The recaros are thicker seats - the buckets are thinner but do have a harder back.

Someone want to measure the thickness of their bucket seat back and I'll do the same on the sports seat? IIRC the design of the bucket is that the whole seat back sits almost behind the base section and has a thicker back plate to accomodate the gear for the side bolster inflator units, whereas the sports seat the back is contoured to sit on the top of the base section hence why it is narrower and allows more rear leg room.

Ideally less than 40k, really depends on the car spec/conditions and reason for sale..
