Hi all,

Just saw my first third seat (kinda confusing, that) in a type 44 Avant in 
a scrapyard today. Looking at it, it seemed like a kludged solution. You 
lose the useful space under the false floor, and get a very narrow (two 
small children) rear-facing seat. It folds neatly when not in use, but it 
looks cramped, uncomfortable and plain dangerous (OK, there are two seat 
belts, but you're still in the crumple zone).
I wouldn't want to put anyone in such a dangerous place in my car.

PS We all scored a couple or rare bits for our cars, my stroke of luck 
being a complete steering column switch in a UK-spec '90 Audi 100 which'll 
replace the one in my 80. Great, soon I'll have high beams again!
