Re your EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/HP.10.5.34. stating that the rear seat cushions of 21-G-IV are of two distinct types, the near side Latex and the off side a spring frame. We have been doing a lot of riding in the back of this car and are very impressed with the superiority of the Latex cushion from the point of view of comfort. We think there might be a little criticism as regards appearance of the Latex cushion, as the leather is a little more creased than the spring frame type. This of course is very slight when comparing it against air inflated cushions. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
