    Ok, I had intended to leave the car alone for the first year of ownership before I started changing anything. The seats are new, less than a year old but are leather instead of the correct vinyl. The are from GAHH and are beautifully made but not quite to my taste.

    Are these saleable? or should I dye them and live with them for awhile?

    I don't want to even sit on them if the are saleable as it looks like I was the first to use them.

    Any thoughts?

    Ya I have to deal with the carpets as well.....another day

    If the seat are made in good quality and the yellow stripes are leather I would try to get them painted also black and keep them.

    If I was doing the Ronald McDonald thing, I'd snap up those seats and carpet. That'd look McLicious in my Dino! :)

    The center sections are easily removed from the seats. Just have the center sections redone.

    Center sections are vinyl even in leather seats.

    Yes they would !!! Another reason why they have to go. Every time I look at the car I get a craving for a quarter pounder

    These seats are all leather including the centre section

    if the yellow inserts are just leather then just dye them black- they look to be marvelous quality

    full vinyl Daytona style seats have been an option too for Ferrari Dinos (1973/74 cars)

    That is the direction I am headed. I would prefer the original non leather, non "Daytona" look altogether .

    Dyeing them is probably the best overall short term solution

    Interesting. How are the round holes trimmed? Are they stitched?

    Can you take a close up picture?

    Without those carpets, just the yellow seat inserts might not be so bad.

    You are either too bored, or have too much money to spend ;)

    Drive the car and enjoy it ! Life's too short my friend !

    True, I have the 'original carpets' although they are pretty beat up. Maybe I will put them in and have another look.
