It'll have the leather with full electric memory seats tied in with the mirrors. If you had the rarer leather MV6 seats they'd NOT be memory. I suppose it depends what you want of a car, soft squidgy suspension & comfort or relatively harder suspension & less toys. Only option on an elite was NO leather (sorry! colour screen on late facelift Elites too!). An Elite is an Elite just some of the spec alters with age ie reverse sensors.

Im intreguied now, as my 98 MV6 has the 17's the dual zone climate, the xeon's electric sunroom, 6 disk changer in boot, heated cloth seats.

Are they recaro's? as I swear ive seen some that have recaro printed on the actual back bit of the seat in white print, mine dont have any branding on them at all?

!!!!! Even my Elite doesn't have an electric sunroom!!!!!!!!
I am impressed

To r1 - if you want all the toys get an Elite

And maybe bung some stiffer springs on it, MV6 style.

I'd suggest MV6 ones, but with the extra weight of all those gizmos you may need a bit more.

They should be recaro sports leather or fabric. Can you pull the squab out? The bit under your knees? Should be a little more figure hugging, if so they're sports which the MV6 should have as mine did. Sport leather is rarer (i'm a lucky boy). but no memory settings.
  BTW mine also has cruise. Dunno if all MV6's did or whether first owner specced it. 'Tis a bit of a minefield!!!

I'm glad you did B. Helps mpg if nothing else. As you know i've added a few bits & bobs but that's about it now other than maintainence & valeting. No point in spoiling a good'un....not that you need me to tell you that!!!!
