    Does anyone know if the stock seats were significantly different between the 400i and 365 gt4 2+2?
    I have bought some 400i seats to replace the worn ones in my 365 but the padding seems significantly deeper in the 400i. I don't know if this is down to design or just because they are in better shape?...

    Glad you got your bits ok.

    If memory serves the 365 seats are flatter and less shaped than in the 400. If you want to come over to Ilford you can have a look at the seats in my cars.

    That said I knew a guy a few months back who was selling the interior from a 365 - it may still be available. I know there were seat covers and rear side panels but I'm not sure if he had the actual seats - either way it may be a good contact for you. Sadly he didn't have the door panels which are the only part I want (mine were fitted with pioneer door speakers back in the day which fit around the original speaker aperture so have marked the leather. Obviously the original grills are long gone as well).

    Call me if you want the number - 07973 307928

    The series 1 400i seats are different from the series 2 seats but I don't know how the series 1 seats differ from the earlier 400 or the 365GT4 2+2.

    Post a picture of your 400i seats so we can get an idea of what you have.

    I've had a good look today.
    As Russ says the 365gt4 seats are a lot flatter.
    I'm thinking of keeping the seats and getting them in whilst the originals are re covered.
    The rest I'm willing to accept offers on..

    What color are they? Both front and rear?

    Cream. Dirty though. One of the front seats has a couple of tears.
    In all honesty they would need re finishing

    Ok. I hoped they might be black and red.

    As the other posters say, the seat design is very different from the 365 to the 400/400i series 1 and it changed again 400i series 2.
