I was considering it but I've been told they aren't as comfortable as the alcantara ones.
I'm still hoping against the odds to find a red set of these

really annoys me when they swop the front seat position look at seat belt fixing on the picture.

I don't think he's trying to rip anyone off seems pretty genuine in messages I've exchanged with him
There will be wear on drivers seat as he says but doesn't look too bad
Anyone got experience of these seats and alcantara ones for comparison?

A friend had these type of seats fitted to his ZT, and I have to say they were very comfortable, on a par with the Recaro seats in my old 600.

I cannot imagine they would be any different to the seats in any ZT in terms of comfort, seeing as they all share the same type of frame and cushion arrangement.

I would say they would be a nice alternative to alcantara, I on the other hand shall retain my Gentleman's Club on wheels.......one simply cannot waft in a ZT !

I love the look of ZT seats, I just don't think my butt would fit between the sides lol

I fitted red monacos into redfive many years ago and I thought the quality and comfort was fine.. Good price, condition looks OK and only up the road from you as well
Get em bought mate...

The same as you have at the moment Russ.

Not sure what to do, my alcantara has gone a bit bobbly which can be tidied with a shave but the drivers seat on the Monaco set has started to go on the bolster into a small hole

They're a nice early set with the armrest strap and coloured fabric on the panels. They look decent for the money so get them bought!
