    I am having my driver's seat restored to original standards...can someone supply me with photos of the seat so that I can give those pictures to the restorer? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Mine are bagged up in my closet but if someone else doesn't step to the plate I would be happy to unbag one of them and shoot some pics for you. I took them out when I first got the car and replaced them with carbon fiber OMP seats wrapped in red alcantara. Saves the original seats from wear, allows me to have a much better supporting seat, and looks exceptionally good (IMO). Send me a PM next week if someone hasn't emailed you any pics.

    Coachi, mine's getting it's annual TLC (service) currently, all done except getting a new battery installed, which is on order. Can't believe I won't have it back next week... If you don't have pics by then, I'll take whatever you need...

    absolutely.

    Now if I can find someone who has one set of seatbelts to replace my stabilts that a previous owner substituted in my car, I would be even that much happier. Anyone know of any, please PM me. Thanks a whole lot, in adavance.

    Who is recovering your seats? I am under the impression that the original material is no longer available.

    As the wonderfully amusing Comrade 512Tea Are will surely be along to mention once the sun rises on his side of the world - you must not be so cavalier in your assumption of the material used when something as precious as Ferrari's hallowed Classiche Certification is at stake here. :D

    Not sure if the material is available but I can confirm the seats are not available (from the factory), because I bought the very last set last summer. They are still in the factory packaging tucked away in storage ..
