Sims is selling a nice one on the beige. It's the newer shape though.

I found my wife's newer shape one harder to get comfy in. The seats have a ledge at the front to support your thighs but in practice it was tricky to get comfy.

I want one of them.

Mine need all the support I can get.

I've got left side hemi paresis so I like my bad leg to either go straight forward or straight down on a clutch pedal. Any variation causes my weaker left side to have less progress and therefore harsher on a clutch. The mk2 avensis would probably be ok in an auto for me but the seats are also harder.

I've finally got round to going through old paperwork. The chap bought it new actually kept it till 2019. The avensis was on a private plate so I checked that and it's now on a vw bought new in 2019 which coincides with paperwork. I might have to go up and see the chap to return some paperwork. Knowing my luck though he would have died the day before. Address is only up Mexborough.
