Hi Guys - I am still looking for a Scorpio - I will have a good one for the meet Weston 2005
Meanwhile this Vauxhall Vectra 2.5i CDX seat - leather is crap and uncomfortable
I want a DRIVERS SEAT - Black Leather from an ULTIMA - if you have one - PM me or email justcallmecaptain@yahoo.co.uk
I plan to do a transplant - I will also pay some one to do it - any capable seat engineers out there 
Captain

Hi Captain ! ..well any reasonable fabricator can make that seat fit yes .. but it certainly isn't the easiest job .. and the Vectra has a slightly awkard pyrotechnic seat belt pre-tensioner arrangement ..that is part attached to the runner and part attached to the seat frame itself ..so care and time is needed .. and therefore perhaps not economically viable .. aren't they recaros anyway ? .. hope you're ok .... regards .......STN

Car Transplants, the scrapyard near Nantwich that the Ben and I frequent, use a Sierra pick up with flat tyres just to shift junk around the yard. It's broken but it has two beautiful leather seats from a mark three Granada..
Imagine that. Well you don't have to imagine because it's true. But but, why don't we start a scorpio-based scrapyard? Obviously we'd have to accomodate other motors. Maybe just prestige cars.. Scorpios, Granadas, Omegas, Lexus, Mercs, the nicer stuff.
Ye could make a mint.
Sorry Mon Captain, this is in no way useful to your problem at hand. I'm keeping an eye out though!
Lots of love.

Those too!
Omegas are stunners, but I don't see why people think they're better looking than Scorpios. They're so ugly! Quality wise they're a step up, though. The gear sticks are like jet fighter joysticks.
Heh heh. Joystick.

Hi Captain.
'PVSCARS' is an eBay seller who is currently breaking a Scorpio. I have a feeling he was 'cosworth_parts' in here, though i'm not sure.
I asked him about some wheels he currently has on and at the same time thought i'd ask him if he has the leather driver's seat going. He said it is available and to call him on 07780 704448, his name is Phil and he's based in Spalding.
He sounds a bit short but it might be worth giving him a call. Anyway.....
