I am certain that the rear seat is fixed. Nor does it have the centre armrest access slot feature suitable for skis etc found on later models.


My understanding is that the ski slot behind the centre arm rest, together with fold down rear seats, was a single option, i.e. they came together. It was also an option from the very beginning, not just on later cars. Further, you could order a purpose shaped bag, to prevent wet ski's from dripping onto the seats. Rimmers still had some a while ago.

Having said that, it has been reported before, that ALL rear seats fold down. Those designed to, have the push buttons to release the locking mechanism. The others have two tapes (sometimes hard to find) accessible from inside the boot, which when pulled (hard) will also release the locking mechanisms.

Regards

Mike
