Settle an argument! Effect on value...

[edo]

So I have a set of Cerbera seats, as fitted to the later Chims, being upholstered as we speak to match the original leather (magnolia) to go in my Chim.

I am selling the existing seats.

Simon at Fernies thinks a new owner will want the original seats.

What say the PH masses?

Id say they know their market.

Wouldnt bother me. And like you say they are Chim seats as they were fitted to later models.

I have Cerbera seats in my Griff so I would say that's the first thing and I think you are doing the thing there.
My original seats are in the loft so I guess we will have to disagree on that one

[edo]

One for, one against, and last one I cant work out, that's no help!!!!

[V8 GRF]

For originality it's likely that non standard seats or other major changes will effect future values, so if the car is a keeper to hand on to your children I'd do as Baretti has and stick them in the attic.

That said at the present time I doubt it would have any significant impact on resale if you sell in the next few years.

At 40 cars and counting there is zero chance of a keeper, and no children either!!

I was being mysterious.

[macdeb]

Well, if your selling the cerb seats????? Call me.

[edo]

I havent put them in yet! (Central are re-trimming them).

I have also already agreed to sell the chim seats to a PHr, which I am not going to go back on, so it'a a kind of moot point I guess!

I shall post pics once they are in for your further comment in a couple of weeks....

Moot, that's not a word you hear every day

Name a pop song with it in?

[Englishman]

Cerb seats are arguably better, but for long term originality and value keep the originals!

[carsy]

Stick with the Cerb seats. They look better, perform better, thats why they ended up putting them in later models. Prob find that it will add value.

[LMMAC]

Have a mark 3 with cerb seats ! Look fab but are nowhere near as comfy as the earlier seats !

Plus 1 - If I were looking for a Chim I'd see it as a welcome bonus! Cerb seats are a desirable mod and as said above actually used in the late model Chims anyway so it is kind of original.
