Arrangement of the seats in the passenger compartment of a three-or four seat motor car

A three- or four-seat motorcar (10) comprises a body (12) which encloses a passenger compartment (16), a frame (20) which supports a flat floor (24) without a centre tunnel, a pair of front seats (26, 28) for the driver and for a first passenger, respectively, and a rear seat (30) for a second passenger of average height and for a possible third passenger of small height. The front seats (26, 28) are transversely spaced from each other in such a manner as to define an intermediate free space of such size as to accommodate the legs of the second passenger and longitudinally offset from each other by a distance substantially equal to the thickness of their seat backs. The rear seat (30) forms a centre seat capable of accommodating the second passenger and a side seat, behind the front passenger's seat (28), capable of accommodating the possible third passenger.
