These are the best bucket seat Porsche ever made both in terms of aesthetics and comfort/support. I have spent time in them all. I was shocked when AP described them as “ugly” when he was telling the story of the 996.2 GT3 development on the Collecting Cars podcast.

Hi!
have you thought I little further about your approach?
I could be an interested party, I have Mark 1 (Euro Import) GT3, those seats would be very suitable for this beasty.

Oh, I missed that. Still, very pricey. My wife would not approve.

I was completely shocked when AP said that too and still think these are some of the best factory seats ever made.

The OP seats could sell easily for 8k.

Do you know it will likely take ~ 2 months for BaT to list?
Have patience, just saying.
Best wishes.
