Vinnie, just had a thought are there many of your drivers seats (our passenger) with full electrics and memory for sale (materials/colours not important) over your side of the water,as we could do a deal about delivery if you could get your hands on one?

Yeah, I'm sure they are easy to find. Lots of interiors on second hand websites.

As an example: http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/auto-ond...reviousPage=lr

I would prefer both front seats probably, because that would give me a spare cover and frame in case mine ever wears out. The rest might be worth something to someone. I kinda hate to see it being thrown in the bin. Somebody might be looking for it one day.

I could store both front seats,just. can`t really store back seat as well as I want to put my car in garage!

Fair enough, I don't really need the rear seat anyway. I've been searching for a long time now for a back seat with ski-hatch, and when I finally find one, that'll go in the car.

What are your wishes for the electric memory seats? That'll make it easier for me to hunt one down.

p.s. I would like to take you up on your offer. The seller really wants it gone. If it's at your place, I can continue searching for somebody to bring it to Milton Keynes. Or figure out something together with those memory seats from Holland.

Just to convert my passenger seat to memory and rise. I already have electric passenger seat but all it does is forwards/backwards and rake.I will transplant all electrics into my seat (plastics/buttons need to be black). I possibly can accommodate the rear seat as well but will need to tidy my garage again. Let me know what you would like me to do I am off work tommorow and could pick up in the morning.

Thanks mate! Now just a matter of figuring something out with the transport and perhaps see if somebody is interested in the reat seat part.

Any opinion on the state of the set? There is no way back, but I'm just curious.

Not had a close look yet but doesn`t appear to have any damage,a good clean and I think they will come up very well . Hope you wern`t expecting electric seats though.

No, they should be manual. Haven't been able to find these speckled cloth seats in electric anyway. It was difficult enough to find them in the first place
