you could get the heat pads, wiring and switches from a granada scorpio and fit them all in, the swtches would sit in the correct place in the centre console

Only European Cosworths had them. As Mr Youth says, it's not too hard to fit them if you really want.

I have fitted some universal heating pads to my cloth recaros. As far as I know sapphs never had heated recaros. The half leather recaros from later (bug-eye) Scorpios are heated as standard though.

I don't know. I think the manual from my car says heated seats were only an option for Scandinavia I think.

I used to have an XR4i and I remembered looking at one for sale that had a heated seat. They weren't Recaros but it looked factory - whether or not it was or a dealer fit I don't know.

This old A-reg in the ad below has it as well

I've just had heated seat elements fitted to audi rs2 electric recaro's, we used the elements out of heated audi seats, cheap and easy to find.
