2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Java Black
SVX Recaros
Pair being sold by LRI Solutions on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262874485700

Are these the same / similar to new ones such as these from TMD - https://tmdtuning.com/shop/recaro-heated-seat/?

Can't quite work out whether I think these are good value at £466 less than brand new when they are (as the ad points out) 7 or 8 years old... or not...

I understand that the genuine SVX Recaros are better for a Defender than the Recaro CS. Someone can correct me if I would be wrong, but the Recaro CS have a slightly wider seat back frame than the genuine SVX seats with as result that they touch the b-post and the seat belt. Something which is not the case with genuine SVX Recaros which slide back and forth without touching anything.
A pity that they post only one single picture, but it shows the genuine SVX seat cloth, so pretty sure the indeed are genuine SVX seats. No sagging of side supports visible in the picture, but that is never really a problem with these genuine seats. The only thing that can happen is some wear of the leather on the side supports due to driver/passenger repeated sliding in and out. No detailed picture of that though. Advise: you can prevent or stop that wear and tear by buying a set of genuine LR SVX seat covers.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Thanks all.

They were on the (long) list of upgrades and I think I might have regretted passing over these ones. Will report back once they are here and in. 110 UW - '15 2.2

Quick update - I'll add some pics tomorrow.

Very pleased with these. Much comfier, look great and don't think the covers have ever been used. Expensive, yes, but at the same price in the end as a pair of Exmoor Trim Elite Mk 2s, worth it I think!

I only have the drivers seat,(never site in the lh seat !!) ,bought new a few years back at a very good price Whistle , and now in its 3rd 110, Great seat, done many a long distance mile in it

Echo Eric & Kens views above, better than the Recaro CS in a Defender, and well worth it
