Pair being sold by LRI Solutions on ebay.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262874485700 Are these the same / similar to new ones such as these from TMD - https://tmdtuning.com/shop/recaro-heated-seat/? Can't quite work out whether I think these are good value at £466 less than brand new when they are (as the ad points out) 7 or 8 years old... or not...

I understand that the genuine SVX Recaros are better for a Defender than the Recaro CS. Someone can correct me if I would be wrong, but the Recaro CS have a slightly wider seat back frame than the genuine SVX seats with as result that they touch the b-post and the seat belt. Something which is not the case with genuine SVX Recaros which slide back and forth without touching anything.
A pity that they post only one single picture, but it shows the genuine SVX seat cloth, so pretty sure the indeed are genuine SVX seats. No sagging of side supports visible in the picture, but that is never really a problem with these genuine seats. The only thing that can happen is some wear of the leather on the side supports due to driver/passenger repeated sliding in and out. No detailed picture of that though. Advise: you can prevent or stop that wear and tear by buying a set of genuine LR SVX seat covers. Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Thanks all.
They were on the (long) list of upgrades and I think I might have regretted passing over these ones. Will report back once they are here and in. 110 UW - '15 2.2 90 - '85 V8 soft-top RRC - '84 5 door, Option Pack C, 33k miles from new --- Elise S1 - '00 Millennium SE Elan +2 - '68 kit built by my dad Panda 4x4 - '87 in Italy |

Quick update - I'll add some pics tomorrow.
Very pleased with these. Much comfier, look great and don't think the covers have ever been used. Expensive, yes, but at the same price in the end as a pair of Exmoor Trim Elite Mk 2s, worth it I think!  110 UW - '15 2.2
