Abstract
A motor vehicle having a motor vehicle seating arrangement mounted on a floor of the motor vehicle is disclosed in which a utility item in such as a central seat is supported by two spaced apart outer seats so that no floor engaging support is required for the central seat. Advantageously, the central seat is slidingly supported by the pair of outer seats so as to permit one of the outer seats to be slid forward to improve access to a row of seats mounted to the rear of the motor vehicle seating arrangement without moving the central seat or the other outer seat.
