paul jacobs Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Well, to save anyone else the trouble, what are they worth? And yes, I have a pair, black leather with red piping, but as they are the most comfortable 7 seats I have ever sat on/in, someone would have to make me an offer that I just couldn't refuse or even understand[!] if I was to sell them.

CHRIS CLARK Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 I agree Paul. They are the most comfortable of all the '7' seats I've ever used, (if a little heavy) but unlike you there is no way I would sell 'em!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Surely everything has its price? I just don't know what the price is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 I sold a pair of the said seats together with the leather covered dash and the leather transmission cover, wehn I converted K2 RUM from a snesible car into that what it now is, back in 1994/5. At that time, and in mint condition, I sold the whole lot for £600 I would say now, they are worth about half that... They are after all extremely heavy.

CHRIS CLARK Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 Arnie. Not so heavy as to break the chassis!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 No, not really Mike, I find them far too comfortable, even though they do weigh a ton each. There is a company who claim to have designed the "S" type seat and made them for Caterham and still make one very similar, and who may be persuaded to make a replacement "S" design. From memory I think that the company is the Richfield seat company. I was talking to the guy at the Exeter show last year and he was telling me all about them. If it isn't Richfield, I'll look up the advert in an old Kit Car mag. and post the contact details if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 They were all amde by Oxted Trimming. I went to thier premises to chose the leathers when mine were made. Corbeau copied them with a very poor quality replica for a while but stooped quite quickly - perhaps some litigation from CCL???
