Some did come from the factory with the head rests. Otherwise people fit them up cos they look hot.

They were an option on them, and the part number is the same for the front Series II headrests. Calais wagons (the 1988 A9Y's anyway) had an exclusive rear seat back frame (ie, it wasn't just a retrim) and even though mine didn't come with the headrests you can feel the mount points under the fabric.

I fitted headrests to a calais wagon, its a total bugger of a job, You have to take the whole seat to pieces and the sedan mounts dont fit so i had to fabricate the mounts, weld them to the frame and holesaw holes through the top of the seat frame for the plastic clips. Must say it looks tops though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Would look strange to see a calais without the rear headrest, but then again strange to see a wagon with them. Weridos - buy a sedan :P
