Are my seats rare??? pic inside...

Postby wardat » Sat Jul 25, 2009 6:38 pm

Hi all, i have owned my eunos for about a month now and with all my searching on the net i haven't been able to find another car with the same drivers seat in it. There leather seats, black with red centre and with roadster sewn into them but the drivers seat has a fixed back on it. I'm pretty sure its a factory thing.????

Does anybody know anything about this? is it rare? or was it a factory option? or limited edition type thing??

Im pretty sure its not a factory thing I could be wrong... I think its aftermarket but it looks like a really nice job.

correcto.

Yes possibly an option, or just fitted as an aftermarket thing.

In answer to your title question, depends if you plan on selling them to me or not :P

Seriously though, they look nice. I'd have some.

Looks to me that they were originally these seats... (Page out of the Mazdaspeed Touring Kit magazine - has Mazdaspeed parts in it)

that would be it, they pop up on yahoo from time to time, mainly in conditions that require a retrim.
