£29k+ for a car you'd have to keep your eyes closed in!! I think the seats were probably designed to disguise the potential events following heavy throttle depression!! :-D

I'd guess a big 4x4 judging by the spare wheel and tailgate, and with the "washable" seats, maybe something from Land Rover? - I'll go click the link now! :)
