Default One not found in any spec level list.

I've never found listed among the spec levels of any of the R75 models any mention of Storage pockets behind the front seats.

All Connoisseur models sport them, but never list them as a feature.
Club and Classic models don't list them as an option.
I don't own many brochures , so perhaps I've missed something.

Reebs very well documented thread has no mention either.

My Wife "mocks" me for not having them in my Rover 75 Club when she points out her Ford Fiesta Style has them.

Anyone know what's going on.

To be honest on the MK1 all Connie and Connie SE models have them and if leather was an option on Club or Club SE it would have them as all leather seats from the factory pretty much have them.

However they are useless and easily broken so I suspect many people will have replaced them with the blank off a Classic/Club anyways.

On the MK2 I think only the Connie models have them as my Contempory SE has full leather but I don't think it has map pockets?

One thing I can say for sure is the MK2 ones are far better in my opinion with it been a stitched flap across the rear of the seat and far more difficult to break unlike the MK1 version.

Someone doesn't hoover his car very often then, at least the rear

Easy enough to retrofit and thus stop SWMBO's mocking

Sorry to disagree but I find them very useful and both are as they were when the car was new!

They are cheap and nasty bit of design, a bit of plastic through a hole with a brass quarter turn but to bite into the plastic holds them on.

You see more broken or saggy ones then you do mint ones as people over load them with thick items.

I have them on several of mine but I bought the optional seat back storage that clips over the head rests and I use them and are far better then the standard map pockets.

The original design is so poor that 9 times out of 10 when you try to remove a good one the top clips or the bottom U clips snap making them scrap and now I beleave several of them are obsolete now from X-Part so people better start looking after them.
