Good morning Kraut,
It looks like you have a nice truck too

Thank you for the advice and already done. The seats I have in the hunter have a label underneath marked Greiner, so I l looked them up and found they come from here:
http://www.bielkine.de/greiner.html

I would like to contact them and ask them if they can make two additional single seaters face to face seats that fold up after the safe.

I don't expect them to road worthy but when on a hunt putting a two people on seats in the rear, rather then on the wheel well would be nicer.

do you know the Greiner seats?

Scheel-Mann is a brand of the company Greiner, who manufacture high end seating furniture medical seats, wheelchairs. The Seats have always been an alternative to the standard LR seats, especially before LR brought the SVX seats manufactured at Recaro. I have the Scheelmanns in leather with electric heating for two and a half years now, very very pleased with them. You don't need longer seat rails to sit comfortable, because the needed console provides you already with longer rails.

They do have a special range of seats for the Defender, from basic with cloth, to leather, heated pneumatic massage and so on. Just take the following link to have a look

Nice seats. Sadly I need the 6&7 seats but would prefer some guns in there!!

Hello Familymad,
the 7 seat solution was a thought at the beginning because of my family size, but I finally went with the 5 seat as, even 7 seats is not enough for my family - we need a Viano for transporting everyone As I typically bike to work, the Defender is not rational, but a pure childish action all the way down to the number of seats, and at least now when I go hunting, my guns will be safe The safe is actually very useful and will be used for more than just hunting equipment.

Congratulations in coming back to the Land Rover fold.

I think you will need a roof rack to put the spare three children on as you have no seats in the back

Mine has 9 seats, but no kids

Thank you Megatoad - I wonder if the roof rack would be EU compliant if I use it as a people carrier 9 seats, that is a dream defender

If you bought an old Series 11/111 109 then they were 12 seaters, but judging by my old one I think your children would take you to the Hague for violation of human rights due to how uncomfortable they were

The 9 seaters have four inward facing seats at the rear, but these are now banned in the EU for carrying people due to the innefective nature of lapstraps when the passenger is travelling sideways.

That is why the last row of seats in the 110's and 90's had to become forward facing with headrests and 3 point seatbelts. He who dies with the most toys wins

Thank you Kraut, nice seats - because I have the safe, I was thinking of something that resembled the seats out of Discovery 1. The Greiner link is fantastic and my seats are exaclty the ones in the link, heated, full black leather with green stitching. You have been very helpful. do you know if any seat covers are made for these seats:?:

Today with some advice from Ericvv, I decided on the Nakatanenga spare wheel carrier. Slowly but surely, my truck is becoming road worthy :)

since my name gets dropped here... I like the solution suggested by Kraut here for the alternative 7-seat solution. What I see in Kraut's picture probably would not be considered as real additional seats but just some padding, and might keep your vehicle fully road legal and in line with your Swiss 5 seater registration and comply with your insurance. At the same time some hunters could easily use this as temporary seating off the beaten tracks... Looks a nice alternative to think about [/quote]

Good point Eric.
@Kraut - I am assuming this is your truck - any suggestions on where I could go to get something similar done?
Thank you in advance.

No, it's not mine. After hanging around here in this forum for a while you will be able to promptly recognize that it's a 90 on the picture!

Maybe you should go to an upholsterer, cholse a leather matching your seats and get a unique pair including the small leather backrests made for you

After seeing all you helpful posts, I looked at your galleries last night and saw that a 90 was not in your stable

I have sent an email to Greiner to find out if they have any seat covers and will keep you posted.

As it was difficult to find, I put the link to the Nakatanenga spare wheel carrier here:

Nice, do they speak English or French?, just trading in my old RHD 90 for a 2008 110 so may have that done, or can it only be done on new landys
