Excuse my ignorance, but why are these so good/ sought after? Are they rare or is it just an aesthetic thing etc...
I think I know what Carl thinks of these!

They just look better and hold you better than the other seats.
They only were fitted in the Plus and LE, LE had Red & Black and the Plus had Black leather with Red Stiching. So yeah they are rare!

I've only ever seen 2 cars with airbag Recaro's. Markus and JimO's old 'Y' reg.
Someone was telling me that it was Fiat just emptying their parts bins and not bothering about keeping the cars to 'UK spec' at the end of the coupe run.

I'm all over these airbag recaros. I really am going to get very very anal about the car I buy. I've fallen for it all..
Gulp.
You sure you don't want a p/ex on a Mini, Carl?...!
Red rag, anyone?

I have sat in a pair of Airbag Recaros and normal Recaros in a LE and felt no difference! But you know more than me so I shall believe you Konig Seats are nice. I remember sitting in some black and silver leather ones in a R5 GTT, very hard but sexual. Cant find them anywhere though!

I've got airbag 'recaros' in mine but my car came from Germany (RHD spec ordered by Army Officer out there) and hence has a few little differences which assume are Euro-spec. The seat release mechanism is more aesthetically pleasing on the airbag ones as it follows the contours of the seat whereas the standard one has a lever sticking out.
Was every late coupe bought by the army based over there.
One story i hear way way to many times!

If we follow this argument again then I believe the outcome is that none of the seats in the LEs, Pluses or some [6]s are officially Recaro.

Post modified/deleted - hope mods are happy now. Allegedly Adriana Lima has nothing to do with 'airbags'. Could've fooled me.
