Found these on the internet:

Cheaper than a QT Seat, but do we consider them too Cheshire for a Defender?

I just wonder if they would fit into a truck cab and leave any leg room other than the small amount already provided!

IMO Flaunting this sort of thing implies you certainly don't have, it.

dont do it, im currently trying out a sparco (solid) bucket seat in my 110 5 door, every time you want to get in/out you have to push the seat back fully to get out, even then its awkward as ####, and when you get in with your hands full you cant sit your arse up into the seat and pivot in, because theres a side on the seat. drives me nuts, but i got it free and said id try it out. very comfortable when you are in it, but a bitch to get in and out of...

Agreed, getting in & out is a pain, better to find some decent conventional seats that are both comfortable and practical.
I had Recaro seats in my 90 for many years. They were styled like a normal seat and had adjustable height, lumber, tilt, recline etc yet held you in place very comfortably. When I went back to standard seats (my wife struggled to depress the clutch with the Recaro's) I found I was not held in anything like as firmly.

£1272 for a seat???!!

Anyone had any experience of the QT seats? The blurb says they give more legroom, but they don't look very comfortable
