 |
|
I have a portugese spec 55 kombi that has its original seats inside. I know the portugese did the upholstery, fitted the glass and painted it when new but the seat frames i beleive were bought in with the buses from germany.
This bus has a 5 leg middle seat. It's real there has not been an extra leg welded on there or one cut off a barndoor middle seat. Anyone seen this before? The seat has the steel grab rail on top with aluminium ends.
BDM have flown in from the West coast to inspect it but we are no closer to knowing what the deal is with it.
Anyone shed any light on this. I will try and take a picture of it when my camera is fixed in the next couple of days.
Thanks,
Graham |

| I have never heard or seen of such. how does the rest of the seat construction look? does it look like a 6 leg minus one leg or is the spacing on the legs different? |
