Here's a thread where Mark posted a few photos of the SLK seats in his Cabrio.
Being mechanical, this seat lends itself very well to the W460 & W461. I was glad to find that the Chrysler Crossfire also uses these seats. Purchasing the cloth versions and having them recovered here in leather by one of our fine Mexican owned upholstery shops is very economical.
Best,
-Sean Philyaw There are several leather models of the Crossfire that are also powered ... I do like the idea of custom covers with something like this inside. It is hard to say with out knowing the final costs whether going this route is the most cost efficient or coughing up the $1.5K/seat for new Recaros ... | ||

Toby is the US rep and he has them in his 2000 G500 and has offered me a set for my 1999. They would definitely work for your 1998 G320. Heated option as well, leather or cloth. I know they are working on a SWB seat base mount as well. 463 1990-200 fitment would also work on a 460 series G. https://www.facebook.com/scheelmannusa/ | ||

How well does the leather match the pre 2002 "S Class" grade? | ||

Minor modification. Super comfortable, supportive and have armrests. They should work much better with the LWB as access to the back of a SWB takes a little more effort. Cranking the backrest forward then doing the tilt.

I bought a set of Vito seats convinced they would fit my 460, only to find that either I dump the center console or the door bins as they are too wide. they look very similar to the seats in your picture. | ||
