Are we all talking about the same thing here. Tom B. talks about three
107SW missing the rear seat in the singular. The seat that is usually
missing, and is the big problem to find in the 107SW is the centre
seat. The rear seats are the inward facing ones at the back. The rear
seats are often missing because they got in the way when the vehicle was
used for work purposes, they are the same as the 107/109 S1 pick-up but
not the 86/88 and they are not the same as the later S2/3 ones, although
similar. Also I imagine people transferred them into newer vehicles.
Could this be how Nick has seen them in a S3 ?
Why the central bench seat should be missing I do not know, but they
often seem to have been completely removed, and I have yet to find a
replacement in the S2, which seem to be different. Certainly in the
parts book and the advertising literature they are shown as a new part.
In the U.K. the reason for dumping the 10 seater was the tax position
and the new 12 seater was only bigger by the few inches that were added.

Good news, as for some reason, I have seen three 107SW, all missing the
rear seat!</FONT></FONT>
