i think you'll find that they are a little different though,regardless of colour.

I have this style seat in my Tamora, I was told they were for the Sagaris but didn't make the final cut.

I prefer mine though with the red leather flashes

wonder why these are being sold if they are so unique to the car, kind of makes the car less unique now doesn't it?

They were taken off Candy years ago. I had the opportunity to get them from Mike last year but didnt have the funds. Now the new owner wont sell them privately - wants to make a profit so let him.

I have the car so he can go jump if he thinks I will pay a premium for something for my arse to sit on just cos they were in my car at one time.

So we all agree not to bid, then Gaffer gets them in her car for a bargain price off ebay

[OatSy]

I can't see why anyone but Gaffer would want them (for a TVR that is) I have these seats and they don't give very much lateral support. There not as comfy as the STD seats (Tam or SAG).

yeah, i agree. they're only going to suit Gaffer's car.
Go win 'em back Gaffer, but get a good price, Candy will be officially unique again!

[stimshady]

(alternatively, start new ebay accounts and bid up to something stupid like a million pounds do this a few times and the guy will be begging to get rid of them!)

[Lensey]

Think he's a bit of a dreamer, can't see why they are going to be of interest to anybody but Gaffer as she has the original car, all a bit pointless really, he should just sell them to Gaffer at a reasonable price.

Its a pair of Sagaris seats with the backs painted although the paintwork damaged. It's along time since I looked at a pair of Sagaris seats, but these look no different to any of the earlier 2005 sag seats??

Why all the fuss, the guy owns them and wants to get the best price he can for them??

i have to disagree with your comment that these seats are not very supportive(unless these are designed to give more support than yours) i have seen these these seats and sat in them when mike had them, even contemplated buying them but couldn't justify the cost at the time, and they are an excellent pair of seats much more supportive than the standard griff seats and would be an excellent upgrade for someone looking at doing occasional trackdays as you have the removeable panel for extra support if required.

just my view hope i havent offended

[TVR Dan]

Whats the bet that these poor seats end up on a shed like corsa!

[JonRB]

I have these seats on my 2005 Sagaris and, to be honest, I'm seriously thinking of replacing them at some point as the lateral support is crap. Especially round the ribs and shoulders.

I have them also, but they are fine for me. Maybe because I'm so fat!

Seems a low price (currently) to restore originality to this car.
Maybe the Club would like to bid ?

Why not ask your local MP to put it on his expenses

I was actually going to add that it could be my shape and size. At 5'8" I'm reasonably short and my shoulders are lower than the wings on the seat so they don't benefit me.
