Default What car are these Recaro's from?

Hi

I won some 90 spec recaros on Ebay last week and just picked them up today...


i thought they were escort RS Turbo ones being 90 spec, but they have a map pocket on the back of both of them.

i thought only saph cossie seats had the map pockets. And i know saphy ones don't tilt, but these do.


Used 3 cans of valet stuff to clean tem up and they're pretty mint now..






Not really that bothered, but its puzzling me


They were a fooking bargain too

also the grey material isnt solid grey, more like the saphy fleck grey colour

yeah they were optional in the XR2i, not many people opted for them though. You can tell from the piping, map pocket and the different outer material

not seen many sets myself either

They are genuine XR2i Recaro's. They are rare as rocking horse shit. Seen sets go for £300. I let mine go for the silly some of £150 and a set of standard XR2i seats after our old Fes was trashed
