    I had this to yield a bit more head and leg-room in my TR.

    It's the driver seat in 100% original, in tact condition with all ancillaries such as brackets, buckle mechanisms, wire pigtail, side trim covers etc.

    Original navy blue (though it looks nearly black) leather is good condition with some average wear which is likely not an issue as most of you will probably recover in tan, black or the red fire retardant Nomex.

    I will sell although I am going to give a long-shot request to trade for oem '86 Countach QV or genuine 930 Ruf related items...open to really anything.

    PM me and I will provide my contact info if you have an interest.

    Wow...only a couple SS cars came with blue interior. I think one of them was silver.

    I'm still in the midst of compiling data on SS cars so my records are rather incomplete but I do show #80 as being a silver/blue TS with standard seats. Perhaps this seat came from that car?

    It's sure a sweet looking chair. I'd love to have it for my own car but I expect it will go quickly.

    Love the blue. I hope it doesn't get recovered in tan. Ewww.

    This is out of car 95569 which I think was the only SS with a blue interior (silver exterior).

    Still looking for Countach items as a trade but will sell outright.

    I've been asked to post a price. Hard to know as I can't find any threads to reference. If anyone has an opinion on an average value, I'm happy to heed the recommendation.

    I just sold a set of NOS SS seats in tan leather, never installed. $4,250.00 in January of this year.

    Thanks! That's SS #80. I've updated the record to indicate that the car originally came with composite chairs.

    Interesting that someone got rid of the carbons and put regular seats in. Shame.
    I also wonder where the other one is! :)
