<< My 87 coupe quattro had the best rear seat of any car - ever, Loads of
room. Did anyone know that Recaro made the rear seats for the coupe ?
Combine these with the Recaro seats in the front of the Opel Manta GTE
and you have the perfect combination.

Erk. Wasn't it that they were Recaro designed (all VW sport seats were....I
believe, and will undoubtedly soon be proven wrong) and licensed to VW to
produce, since Recaro didn't have the mass production facilities and didn't
want to over-saturate the market with the name? On the back seat - better
than the 6 series and 924S/944 (which is completely useless), but worse
(headroom and legroom, as well as side comfort with non-movable windows and
oddly designed arm/pocket/rest things) than the 4000. Having both, side to
side, the 4000 is obviously a much easier passenger car.
Later!
