SRi/SE Half Leather Interior - finally arrived!

[waue1978]

I am now in possession of the aforementioned interior. Will post up pics in a bit, but will be open to offers from forum members first, but if no takers before I finish my training in Wellingborough before the end of the month, it'll be going on Ebay. These are like rocking horse poo to get hold of - it took me nearly a year of looking before I got hold of my SE interior.

Items for sale are:

2 x Half leather front seats - will probably now be the manual seats as the SRi fronts won't match my SE rear bench (see pics below)

1 x Half leather saloon rear bench

4 x Leather door cards

2 x Wood trims in either blue wood or black ash from the glovebox & drivers side of dash - haven't decided which set will be staying on my car yet


I don't want to start an open auction on the forum, but if anybody is genuinely interested in these, PM me with an offer.

Hi waue,
how much wouid you want for just the seats?
the door cards wouidnt be anygood to me as idont have rear leccy windows,

thanks in advance,

To be honest mate, I wouldn't want any less for just the seats than I would to shift the door cards too, main reason being that I'd struggle to get anything for the door cards on their own. In all honesty, even with no electric windows, you'd still be able to use the door cards. All you'd need do is drill a hole for the window winder & change the armrests from your rear door cards over to the leather.

There is also the possibility that I may not be using any of this in my car now as it turns out that there are differences between the SE trim & SRi. My SE seats have a grey cloth centre (which I originally thought was just faded) whilst the SRi centres are quite visibly blue. Also, the leather on the bolsters on my front seats are in slightly better condition than these, but the bolsters themselves are much firmer in the SRi seats. Ther is also the possibility that I may run the whole lot round to a trimmers to see if I can get them to make me up a rear seat with the armrest in it, thus leaving me with matching front & rear seats.

As far as price goes, I did say open to offers. Here are the pics (including a few close ups of the not so great bits):






















& these are the SE seats (to illustrate the difference in colour):

No interest on here, so I spent a good couple of hours cleaning them up today & they're now on Ebay with detailed pics if somebody wants to try their luck at auction:

Sold last night for £246 to a buyer from Malta who is arranging a courier to collect. Ebay fees have rocketed though. Between them Ebay & Paypal have swallowed up £35 of it already!

Loads of European & Irish interest in them & a message waiting for me from the underbidder this morning stating that he'll happily pay £260 if the buyer lets me down.

Managed to restrain myself from replying with, "Well, if you'd bid that in the first place..."
