    I am curious, do all the seats fold down the Mondials or just the coupes?

    Thanks,

    Joe

    I have put them down to put a set of clubs back there, or strap a pickanickbasket or cooler in place :)

    They do form a "flat" platform in the center don't they? Just not fully horizontal when down though correct?

    I wasn't aware of this either. Is it possible in a QV coupe to fold seat down?

    No, QV and Mondial 8s have fixed rear seat backs.

    If that's true, how do you reach the plug access panel in an early non-cab car?

    What plug access panel would that be?




    There isn't one. The front plugs are accessed like their predecessor GT4 and GTS/B, the manly way involving contortion and profanity.

    Bummer you can't get to the plugs the way you can in the 308 by sitting in the trunk! And I like my knuckles, I wear Mechanix gloves.

    Real men aren't afraid of sprawling themselves over the trunk and engine to get to the forward bank. :p

    My old '84 QV Euro spec. did not have a fold-down rear seat back. It was definitely fixed.
