I'm pretty sure that Jezza's char is from an Audi, but I could be wrong.

I thought it was the chairs he made from the Porsche 928 after the £1500 challenge? I know he said he sold them but they looked similar enough, i never looked closely enough.

I thought the were from the Porsche challenge too.

Don't think they're from the Porsche challenge but they did change style early on, maybe in series 2 or 3. If I remember correctly the seats used in the forst series were smaller and more or a 60's bucket seat design. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. images/smilies/smile.gif

Those are from an Opel Senator B. Or the Vauxhall equivalent, whatever it was called. Been there from the episode 1x03 of "new top gear".

sofa's made from cars rock

my mates picked up the entire interior of a Saab 9000 i think. all genuine leather, with the front two being electrically adjustable. £50 from the scrappy.

took em back home and welded some frames to them and also later on hooked up the electrics. they are comfy and awesome
