Are these seats hard to find here in Australia?

Can be hard to find anywhere.

I only ask because i put a pair of them on ebay with a starting bid of $250 and the bidding has gone crazy.



Tho the highest bidder could turn out to be a time waster yet.

It would be nice if they actually sold for that amount but I'm dubious about it.

They are rare - normally found in Motorsport and JPS versions, not many others. Not often found in good condition with E21 runners as well. Good luck with the sale. They are a great addition to any E21.

Defo rare, especially in good condition, guess there will be a serious buyer left over in the end that'll pay a good price

Those are not oem e21 recaros. Oem are rare,I have only two pairs.

AFAIK these are the early ones, later versions have the pull out leg support. The latter were also available in this cloth pattern but even though I like those better, these are more rare.

All original e21 recaros have the pull out leg support.

So these are from? Is this the E21 cloth pattern or something that looks quite similar?

these are from opel manta's, ascona's kadett etc. I also think some Ford

These are the seats that came to Australia in Motorsport and JPS versions. They are original - I had a set in a motorsport and they are the same as all JPS versions I have seen in Oz! The runners are the ones supplied with e21s are were found in 81/82 examples.

they are original e21 recaros. The JPS has the exact same seats, so did a 320is I was looking at buying once.
