seats showcase: Recaro OEM hardback bucket sport shells- RS/ Speedster/ GT1/ GT2, etc

I have the OEM Recaro seat from a 1973 RSR, driven by Roberto Quintanilla, entered by John McClelland in 1973 and 1975. It raced at Daytona, Sebring, etc.
Quintanilla liked a different seat, and removed the original Recaro. I crewed for them at several races, and knew McClelland well. I put the seat in my GP Austin Healey for many years, but it has been stored for many more years. Do you have any idea of what it would be worth? I would like to see it back in a racing Porsche.

Bumping this excellent resource to mention that I will be listing a 964 Cup Car seat for sale in the next week. If anyone is looking for one feel free to shoot me a message.

could this "moulded number" be a sticker painted over? Look next to the pic with the number 8.... looks suspect to me... but could be part of the moulding itself.
Now I gotta check mine!

All guesswork though of course.

I just pulled my pair out of storage. I believe these are from a 964 Speedster.
I'm working to get these useable in a 993:
1) Does anybody have a good source for new bolster leather (the back surround down to the front)? Porsche OEM? Recaro?
2) Any source for the clips to repair/ replace the "trampoline" to frame attachment supports/ clips (see pic)?
Any help appreciated! Beautiful seats in this thread!

interesting, as the seats I posted also came from a car that was destined for racing From the factory it seems like no coincidence that they both have the numbers on them.
