Make sure you clarify if they are factory installed or dealer installed. At that price I'm guessing that you've been quoted for dealer installed Recaros not factory installed.Quote:

APT fabrication are selling the specialist model for $1700 + base / seat.
A web site called RECARO – Idealseat Company – Orthopaedic Seating Specialists – A new dimension in seating
has the range, and looks like the distributor for australian stockists.
Be keen if someone could identify which seat the SVX comes with from this site.
Curious if Recaro have a base that can be lifted off as the standard seat base does? and how it works in the SVX?
Can some SVX owners lashed some light?
RECARO Sportster CS ?
The web site
INTERIORS : Recaro Carbon Seat
seem to have a good idea and suggest it is a Sportster CS? or at leafs this is a good option and looks similar form the photos.
However on the AUS distributor web site this model looks different on the base. The sides are high and I can imagine difficult to enter-
I have attached a photo from the tune site. hopefully it attached
Thanks to all who have replied, I get the message that these are worth having, I believe they are cheaper as a factory option but as some have mentioned it is hard to determine exactly which ones are fitted, or if these are a lower grade seat from the recaro range.Quote:

I spoke to the guys from Ideal seats a couple of years ago at a 4x4 show..... They told me that the "Sportster CS" is very similar to the seat they supply to Landrover. He recommended the "Specialist M" model as a replacement for standard defender seats.
I think he said they had a sprung base as opposed to the the solid base of the sportster. But I could be wrong as it was a few years ago.
I think both seats were around the 2.2k each including the defender mounting adapter. Which did allow easy access to the seat boxes.
I believe you can buy direct through them (in melbourne) or one of there stockists, which include some opposite lock stores.
That's a lot of money but you got my attention when you mentioned easy access to the seat boxes. Seat box access, while not an issue on a Puma is most important to me.Quote:

APT here in AUS
"Unfortunately the Recaro’s with the removable base were a onetime special build for Land Rover and they won’t re release them until a massive order is placed.
Prices between $1999 to $2099 + Land Rover specific seat mounting frames are $220 each
The seat bases are hinged so the seat flips back to allow access to the storage under the seat. "
Pair = $4400+ freight.
Option B UK tunemy defender
They have there own specific bracket that allows the seat base to be removed. This costs £50/pair + £60/seat for the LR adaptor. So add £170 for a pair. Seat cost is £912/seat. Without shipping.
The email replies both quick and helpful. It dies sound like the UK mob are into it a but more and they have the remove able base.
Pair =£1994 + shipping
Are the SVX recaro seats:
1. Reclinable to allow under seat storage or
2. Seat base removable ?
