Fred Jenns says "one of the concerns raised about the RV8 is the relatively poor headroom. We have just had the lowered seats (above right) made for a customer in Europe. The seat pattern mimics the original RV8 seats, but is less rouched to keep the seats taut. The seats are in full hide, not just
the wearing surfaces. The original RV8 head rest is re-used. Both the back rest and the squab have been made shallower and the frame also cut down. The leather is an excellent match to the centre console. Although there is about ten different colours in the RV8 interior this is the best match that we have found, but if a different shade or even colour is required the supplier Moto-Build would be happy to help if at all possible.

These seats are for outright sale so that you can keep the original seats in good condition if you plan to enjoy the RV8 over many miles, or even if your original seats have become shabby or torn. No modification is required to the car so the original seats can be re-fitted without difficulty. The price that I have been quoted is £725.00 plus VAT.
