What he said. But ... I think the wagon only came with the sports seat. Euro imports only with the bucket seats IIRC.
PS Y/51
Don't think there are any X plate UK bugeyes.

True that for no cost, you could chose between "sports" seats (which were about as sporty as those in a standard Vectra) with side airbags, or the nice buckets. I think, but may be wrong that the "sports" seats may have been the standard option on the earlier bugeyes (Y/51 plate).
I chose the buckets on my 02WRX on the basis of I'd rather be comfortable, and well secured in the corners. What good is a little balloon going to do you if you get t-boned by a truck anyway?
Edit to add, yes, come to think of it, IIRC X plate did exist on the very first bugs.

I think you're right about the 'sports seats' on the Y plates - I remember being told when I bought my MY01 that it had the optional bucket seats (and very glad I was too - the 'sports' versions offer very little support - the bucket seats are far better).
