Default Use store or sell 964 RS seats?

A long story short..

The partner of a friend of mine found a pair of triple grey 964 RS seats for sale and asked me to inspect and do the deal for her. Her plan was to give them as a present but the plan has changed and now they are no longer needed. So being the gentleman i am, i bought them off her.

I'm toying with the idea of fitting them in my Cup but i really want to keep the car looking original. Other options are to store them or sell on. I am in no rush to let them go and lets face it... I dont think i will find another set. On the other hand with the rising 64RS prices it may be better to sell while the market is on a rise.

what would you do?

Not sure on the seats, but can you post some pictures of your car?

If you don't plan on buying another 964 for street use, sell the seats. They'll do nothing for your cup.

In the spirit of the original purchase, you could always give them away as a present to a Rennlister

And I humbly offer myself as a worthy Rennlister recipient.

As tempting as that sounds. My mother always told me that charity begins at home.

They'd sell for at least 2,000 euro in Europe. Probably more.

You should start a collection fund to buy them for Jim




The wheels are 5 spoke Speedline corse mags. Planning to replace them with a recently purchased set of BBS E28's.



The seats in question..
