2003 Estate 7 Seat Conversion - tyrone316
Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to convert a focus estate on a 53 plate to a 7 seater? If so any ideas where to look for the conversion?

many thanks

2003 Estate 7 Seat Conversion - *Gongfarmer*
Funnily enough I was googling for this yesterday for ourselves and it threw a couple of companies up who offer such things.
A couple of thoughts though; insurance ? 7 seaters usually attract a higher grouping because of the potentially larger personnel injury claims. (By the way, the conversion does come with lap belts which I presume pick up on the rear under seat mountings).
There is a thread on here regarding retro fitting a Volvo V70 with a Volvo approved seat which notes that the factory conversion provides an internal door handle for rear the occupants. Would insurance companies ask for the same to be fitted ?
