What seats do I have?
Discussion
Bit of useless info for any/all interested:
The "swoopy" seats that ended up starting out in the Tuscan (as shown in that Sag shot) were originally intended for the Cerb if you look at Damian's originally Cerb interior sketches. They got delayed for some reason or other so debuted with the Tusc.
Probably entirely coincidentally, they suit the Cerb MUCH better than the Tusc/T350/Tam/etc. much better as they're more of a GT seat - they offer very little support to keep you in place... unlike the really-quite-good later Tam/T350/etc. seats that help a lot when you've got such a chuckable car.

Hhhhmm, I started that 'Sagaris seat badge' thread .... I have the swoopy (seemingly Tuscan) seats, and my Sag is a '55 plate.
I actually would have preferred the earlier wraparound seats TBH - as someone above mentions, the Tuscan-style ones don't really offer as much support as I would like, even though they do look nicer IMO.
Any Sag owners willing to swap should drop me a PM

I do have a preference for the earlier ones too.HA
But, try taking your seat backs off, peel off the lumber support bag then get an electric carving knife and remove about 1-1/2" of foam from the back face.
Drastic I know; this does not change the look of the seats, but you then will sit into rather than on the seat and are held in by the side bolsters.

Ha! Nice one - how is Candy? She all better?
Yea, she is at the NEC at the moment - first time since she was unveiled in 2004 
Bad fuel - caused tapping, took her to TorqueRVT, ran octaine booster through, reset her on the laptop and is fine. Needs a 12K though soon to be top notch.

Mine was supposed to be there, but we've had issues here, and a three line whip was ordered!
Shame to have missed her for the Kent meet - will be another time I'm sure. Glad she's good though!

You going to the NEC this weekend..? Will be there Sunday afternoon.

HAHA! Is there really nothing on your Sag you haven't tinkered with yet Graham? It must be the most 'disassembled-then-reassembled' car on this forum by quite some margin But, try taking your seat backs off, peel off the lumber support bag then get an electric carving knife and remove about 1-1/2" of foam from the back face.
