A motor vehicle 10 has a vehicle body relative to which a seat is secured. The vehicle body has a floor 20 defining an aperture and the vehicle comprises a floor panel 16 releasably securable within the aperture. Preferably, the seat is supported by releasable floor panel 16 so that the seat is removable from the vehicle while supported by and secured to the panel. The system is particularly suited for allowing egress from an overturned vehicle, for example a racing car without a passenger exit door and with a halo head protection structure around an open cockpit. Panel 16 may be releasable from both inside and outside the vehicle and the internal and external means of release may be different. Lifting rods may be provided to facilitate lifting of panel 16 from the vehicle body.
