An aftermarket addition on a launch car David. The original headrests may well have been changed; a viewing is necessary.

Also, the seller says this:

"It flew through its mot with no advisories .."

Well, it's true that there were no advisories, but it failed the test in September 2015 as follows:

Reason(s) for failure
Service brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7)
rear Brakes imbalanced across an axle Axle 2 (3.7.B.5b)
nearside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)
offside Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)
offside Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)
nearside front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover excessively deteriorated so that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (2.4.G.2)
