I've got a couple of Griff seats in cream in very good condition. There are a few red overspray marks in unseen places that were caused when the car was resprayed and a few little nicks on the back of seats. When installed I don't think these blemishes will be noticeable at all. I'm going to put them in the classifieds but don't know what they're worth. Breakers are charging a fortune. Can anyone advise on their value? Thanks.

It varies depending on colour and condition obviously,but i sold mine for i think £125 and a guy from Holland drove all the way over to collect them,my car has full leather option but not sure if the seats were affected in their construction by this.

Mmm, thanks for that. When installed they will look great. Any blemishes will be hidden. Mine are full leather too and hopefully popular cream colour.

Can you check in your handbook to see what colour they are? Think one version is biscuit.

Sorry, car now sold so don't have the handbook. They are definitely not biscuit. That is a kind of Digestive biscuit colour. These are cream. See pic.

Are you positive about that as I don't want to mislead buyers? I like chocolate biscuits.

The best ones are the chocolate digestives with caramel lick

Was it not called 'stone' on early Griffs? Nearly all were Mica Blue with Stone half hide interiors?

No...stones are no substitute for biscuits, although they don't fall apart when dunked.
