Just before putting my final spec down on an order for a Sagaris im looking for someone to post a picture of the rear hatch open and looking into the back of the seats. I'm looking for a 06 model with the tuscan seats. I can't find any good shots anywhere online, so it would be much appriciated if you had any to post here. Thanking you all again

You dont want the Tuscan seats if you can get away with it.

What makes you say that Djc? They were the comfiest i've sat in of all three generation seats of the sagaris.

Thanks for the pics pink, they are a great help!

Agree with DJC - original version much better. Also back of the seat in same colour as bodywork looks cool.

True the original was ok, but i sat in the original and in the tuscan seat in the sagaris and for me i preferred the 06 model. I'm coming from a lotus so im kinda sick of the racer seats and think my move up from the elise to the sagaris reflects it in the quality of the interior. So i decided rather then racing seats and sparco etc i want the tuscan due to 1. the comfort is miles above 07 and the first sagaris seats and 2. I think the interior colors can be messed around with the seats better with the design of the tuscan seats

You've gotta say that interior looks beautifully put together.

Personally very happy with my original seats and taking the seat cushion out really makes a big difference on track days. It's a very smart, simple and effective solution.

I also prefer the painted seatbacks to those Sagaris logos. I might have to get mine painted...

I've changed these photos a bit in photoshop, changing some of the black bits to purple etc and this is my perfect interior. I love the backs of these seats

Does look good, but I still prefer the original seats IMHO. Saying that, If that's your ideal combination then go for it! wouldn't worry about what anyone else thinks.

I do love the original seats because of the body color on the back. Looks great, but once i sat in the tuscan seats they we're definitly my favorite. And like i said i can't wait for some proper comfort after coming from the elise

The original seats are more comfy, however they do not fit in the car aswell. I do not know what the new Sparco seats are like because TVR would not open up the for car for me at the motorshow! The problem with the Tuscan seats is that they are rather woeful in posture and Osteopathic terms, the lower back "support" being an prime case! When your other half is an osteopath you get every glaring deficiency explained to you in detail.

...what's the deal with taking the cushion out? Can you just lift it out?? My initial impression of the 350 seats is that they could do with being a bit more 'buckety' - perhaps this is the answer...?

Cheers

I tried the seats at the motorshow. They are very impressive. I really liked them and they are extremely comfortable. Mind you I dont find my original ones uncomfortable either!

Same as Mad-dog I tried the new sparco's at the motor show and have to say I think that they would be my preference over the original (which I did like when I drove an 05 model for 6 weeks) and the tuscan ones.

Definitely will consider them as an aftermarket once they are available...depending on the price
