id hazard a guess, that it is a Capri seat, well, it looks like one, or something old eg mk1/2 escort/capri because of the headrest

they look like rover ones but they were half leather.

Search for recaro njoy seats on google and there a few that are very familiar with the mesh in the headrest.

Nearly, series McRae was embroidered on the seat under the Recaro badge on the Series Mcrae limited edition seats.

The rest of you are wrong too!

Its from a Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000 with the ppp kit fitted. Was an optional extra.

Heres some in my Missus' Scooby

Glanza Recaros are a light grey centre and the "Recaro" section is black, not the same colour as the centre. AFAIK
