I don't have either seat but do know that the Exmoor trim lemanns have removable seat bases to give you access to the seat boxes, where as the scheelmann don't. I think you can get a tilting system for them to give you some access.

If you fancy some nicer front seats then I reckon you should go for these Cool . You could be a trendsetter: I've not seen anyone else fit them yet! Peter

Had the Le Mans fitted for over a year now, excellent seats.

There are pictures in my gallery, the ones shown there had to be replaced due to the leather sagging.

thanks Thumbs Up but no thanks Rolling with laughter

cheers for the replys, spoke to Exmoor Trim today and they recomended the Modular or Elite Confused they said that the sides are high on the Le Mans so it makes geting in and out harder.

dgardel, thanks for the pics they do look nice Thumbs Up

I'm disappointed in all of you - you're obviously scared of style Rolling with laughter Peter

I just puked on my keyboard

sc70..... I have sat in both, and my oppinion is:

LeMans is an awesome seat that holds you tight... but as said- the sides are high and on long journeys it does hold you a little too tight (I am not particulaly fat either).

The scheelmann seats are more touring. Comfy but you have the slightly raised bolsters to hold you in

I am looking at going for the Scheelmann seats, and when I was down with Peter (Nakatanenga) the other weeek he said he could do a discount on them..... Plus... I could do free postage to you in Easter as that is when I will be traveling home (Cardigan) if you were interested.

Anybody know how much the Scheelmann seats are? I presume a lot more than the Le Mans?

They are about the same- all depends on what specifications you go for.

I will get onto Peter then... I was looking at going for the same as the XS trim (Half Leather) with heater element- would you be after the same or something different?
