Recaro seats for XK8/XKR

XK8-XK8
in XK8 / XKR ( X100) 1996 - 2006

Featured Replies

Hi all...I was wondering if anyone has any experience of the Recaro seats that were fitted as an option to some XKR's....I think they look quite smart and more interesting than the standard seats...I have read somewhere that they are not as comfortable as the standard seats....I wondered if anyone could offer some insight, and estimate the cost for a pair ( both in good condition and a pair requiring restoration )...Bill

I have been looking and have came  across two sets of very interesting seats....the first are light weight Recaro Aston Martin seats....£7500 or best offer...and a pair of McClaren light weight Recaro  seats...£5000 or best offer...very expensive but both sets look amazing...

The original factory option Recaro seats were about £2,500 as an option if my memory serves me ?

You will do well to find a set available second hand, we didn't get very many people 'ticking the box' when the cars were new !

Hi

 

I'm currently looking at XKRs and some have the Recaro option which I think look more appealing in the veh. they certainly look a better option from the pictures Ive seen.  Is it really not worth bothering with these from the comments here?
