I've got the non carbon ones in my classic. Fantastic fitting seat but not for those of the larger waistline. I'd imagine the carbon ones are lighter weight.

Well I'm going to come clean now. I knew these were a bargain so I snapped them up ASAP as they are potentially worth £400 each, even though I didn't really need them I intended to put them in my classic as they do look extremely nice and are very rare. Anyway, a message from the seller this morning.



Gutted to be honest. I rang his mobile in the description to tell him how disappointed I am but hey-ho, nothing I can do! Maybe he realised afterwards that they are worth a lot more?!

Strange that a business specialising in motorsport should offer something which looks that far undervalued.

Well when I spoke to him realising that there was no chance he was going to send me them, I said to him that they're probably worth around £800 to some people and he said that the price was irrelevant as they were just surplus stock which he doesn't need anymore and he just wanted to get rid. I asked how much the guy paid on Saturday and he said £400. I'm not sure if I believe his story of them being genuinely sold or if he realised they are worth a lot more!

Surplus stock he could easily have got another £200 for.

Seems stranger still after looking at the website.
He must have absolutely loads of contacts he could have offloaded the seats to, and should certainly have had a clue about prices.

Whsat a Co*k Sucker,I have never understood sellers like that i feel for you mate,if they want a certain amount of money for them,they should stick a reserve on there add,he just sounds like a chancer and i agree that he probably realized that he could get more for them,his excuse is very very thin.SJ.
