Spotted a lhd omega on the bay with those tasty recaros fitted!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Opel-Omega-irmscher-2-5-v6-manual-LPG-LHD-left-hand-drive-/121336845620?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c403d5534

Are they not standard MV6 cloth?

[tunnie]

Standard MV6 cloth are not 'branded' Recardo.

Not too many of those left 

[zirk]

Mostly fitted to Early Opel Migs in Euroland, proper Recaro Bucket Seats, snugger fit than the normal Sports we got, although some did fall through the net over here butnot many, Ive had a few pass through my hands now, both the Clothe and Leather versions were badged Recaro.

nice aftermarket headunit too that one, with a small kit will interface with the display and steering controls

[TheBoy]

And for info, I believe all Omega seats are made by Recaro

Pedant alert

Blimey,

If I had been back in England I would have had a look at that car. A LHD saloon car for no money

What wheels are they? Aftermarket or Opel?

Knocking top end. Rather you than me.

Hmmm, that would explain why I've seen some MV6 cloth with the Recaro badge on. Don't recall if the seat bolsters were different, I clearly don't pay enough attention

That's why i put branded in quotes

Yep, the seat bolsters stick out more and the seating area (back and bum) is a lot smaller giving a more huggy fit, if you sat in one and are use to the MV6 type you would diffidently notice the difference, quiet comfy actually.

True, but these are off the shelf Recaros, rather ones being designed for the Omega, there almost identical to the Leather Recaro Pack that was fitted to the Late 4 x 4 Cossie's and some early BM M3 range.

Not to sure what the story is behind Opel fitting them to some Omega's, my guess is they probably went out with some Irmscher options, but may have had a stock left over so were fitted to the Early MV6 Opels.

Some where fitted over here on the Tourer Estates (with out the leg extentions) and a very few on the Early MV6 (mostly Estates), sadly no Active Head Rest or Air Bags so a bit limited now for the late Omega's.
