Needs checking out, and almost certainly a full refurb, but that is still a crazy price.

True. Best outcome would be that you could turn them round to sell/keep for <£100 though, surely?

Add, sense of humour required. Ebay noddies on the loose again

Im sure they would refurb but some of the structure does look distorted in places , wouldn't have a clue on refurb costs but guess it would far outweigh buying a half decent set around £750

Well I'd be tempted if I lived nearer the seller.

Leather will come back from almost any superficial damage using fairly inexpensive products and upholstery foam is easy to repair. Just takes time to strip and reassemble the seats (actually it's a right faff!).

Right colour for my car but they do look like they have had a hard life don't they.
If they were closer, it would be worth a deek.

Completely agree, quite a hard life indeed! However well priced and with effort they can be revived I'm sure. andyfanshawe restored his quite nicely on his build/project thread recently, here.

I live quite close to Goole. May be worth a butchers at the seats and make an offer.

Wonder if they could be coloured red????? Now there's a thought...

Sure it can. I've seen it done before. But you'd need half decent seats to begin with. If you're close you'd definitely be able to see if they are useable. Like mentioned before they look slightly worse for their wear. And not worth stripping and re-leathering. You need o rings or something and it's also a right PITA from my research.

Shame there not better condition or more local, looks like the pearl grey which i have. Id have jumped at a good set of matching seats.
