Default Seat compatibility

Good afternoon all,

Checking in here to see if X300 V12 Daimler seats (front) will drop into a 1999 XJR 4.0SC?
If anyone knows would be ace.

This is what I was thinking of picking up

Thanks

the cushions and seatback will fit your existing frame. belt is different for sure and harnesses are different depending on memory/poverty pack

rear control switch design changed with the x308 but it wont be functional in an xjr anyways

- I have to warn you; if these seats are anywhere close to the captains seats of the X308, and they look to be, then they are HUGE!
I have a LWB Vanden Plas, converted the standard "bench" to the individual seats, and they take a fair bit of legroom, even in the most upright position.
On a LWB that's OK, but I don't think there will be much room left if fitted in a SWB.
- If you only want to install the fronts, you will have a very strange difference in pattern.
- If you are talking the picnic tables, they are a fit, as long as they come with the plastic/leather seat back. No need to swap the original seats.

Thanks everyone,
hopefully it hasnt been stripped bare by the time I get there on the weekend.
I think I'll try and just get the seat backs.

Cheers
