My 2007 Sagaris has the Sparco seats fitted, which having tried both the Tuscan seats and the original T350 seats, seem to give the best of both worlds and proved to be very comfortable when I drove 350 miles in one go on a trip to Cornwall recently.
Blimey 2007 model, that must be worth a few bob........My Oct 2005 Sag has the Tuscan style seats, that were er, in my previous Tuscan.
I did ask for the 350 style seat but they said no. I recall at the time there was someone or two buddies who were ordering two Sags at the same time and that they gave an ultimatum that unless they got the old 350 style seats that they didn't want the cars. They got them. This stuck out in my memory because it was shortly before I got mine and I was worried about seats so was checking on here.
The 350 seats as I understand it had to be tilted in to get them to fit properly. Even my Tuscan style seat leaves little clearance for the plastic upper seat belt guide not to be squashed between seat and rear side window.
Mine also came with the bare plastic column stalks which rather peeved me off, but the dealer managed to retrospectively get me the nice alloy end bits. The fun of hacksawing the washer stalk push into shape to fit the little button and gluing them on was left up to me.
Happy times. Almost 10 years on now - it seems like another life. Still love it today though

Gary I know what you mean about ordering new TVR's, I am still waiting for my handbook (promised in Feb2006) along with the alloy stalks, got the stalks 8 years later from Ebay I did ask for the 350 style seat but they said no.
