Seats

Post by Lewy »

I am looking at buying new seats, but it seems mine are 110 seats not Stage 1 seats.

They look like they have been there since new. I threw 2 perfectly good Defender buckets away about 8 years ago :oops:

I have a black pair that I am removing from my Landy in replacement for rx8 seats.

The Series III County seat appeared in some very late Australian Land-Rover 3.5s. Alternately they were from a local 110.
Though I've had bad experiences with the rubbish EXMOOR offer as Series III trim, they do offer most of the replacement parts for the 110 seats.

Cheers. Mine is a Feb 83 build so maybe they were standard.

One of my 1981 Stage Ones has these County seats fitted as standard in the 110. Although I've not been overly impressed with Exmoor's Series 3 door trim, I recently bought two replacement seat bases from them for this Stage One and they seem pretty good, although they lack the slight height adjustment of the originals.

This Stage One (the green one in my pictures) was a Land Rover 'demonstrator' or press vehicle (it was originally silver) so they no doubt wanted those to whom it was 'demonstrated' to be comfy in it and to show off the 'County' fittings - because these seats were also fitted as standard in late Series 3 County models, including the Stage One, as well as the 110 that followed.
