Probably a LHD 2.5 TDI. I've seen those with velour interior instead of leather!

Given that the heavier wear on these is on the seat with the seat belt point on the left hand side, I'd say these are from a right hand drive car - unless the image has been flipped, of course . Handy as home cinema seats, but not to put in a usable '8 IMO.

There was some LHD poverty spec with manual heater controls as well, no climate control.

My 1998 brochures only have electric seats, that was late-ish pre-facelift.
__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.).
2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!
Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

Here is one with partially manual fabric seats http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/de...topInCategory#

and another one http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/de...1&pageNumber=1

and FL http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/de...&pageNumber=1#

Can't find one with manual heater controls but I am sure I have seen references somewhere in repair literature

I'm pretty sure manual seats were available for RHD cars too.
A8 parts have a few, I bought two manual seat bases from them.
