Just to find another!

So........

its here, with rails, electrics, totally complete for £506! now to find the other side it seems it was worth the 'risk'.

[MclaesLaren]

Very good price. I wonder what McLaren would charge for a new one?

Any guess?

[Streetbeat]

£7500 + VAT, differs slightly between drivers and passengers for some odd reason.

I think i'll struggle to find another at £500! Just need another, then retrim and install, i'll be happy!

Since getting the Atom, the 650 has been “demoted” to weekend top-down road car.

But if I was still doing track days, I’d just do the driver’s side and leave the comfortable heated passenger set as is. Never had anyone on with me for track days, or when I’m on it to the extent that P1 seat helps.

Of course if you are going for the “look” - that’s another story. Let us know how you get on swapping them out.

Do you need to get some coding done?

Not sure, I’m lucky as my 650 has unheated manual(I like to think clubsport spec) seats anyway, so it should be an easier swap than most!

That is a bargain! Well done getting that seat for £500. Would love to have just the drivers bucket seat as the missus quite likes the standard basic seat in our 570

[Frankychops]

Thanks, I’m not sure if I could cope without them matching so I need to find another.

I think it went for that price as it was a buy it now and postage was a strange amount

[akadk]

Surely stolen?!

[HJG]

Item location was Woking, so yes, sadly, likely stolen by employee from factory.

[Frankychops]

not quite, the back story is it was given to one of the p1 team as a leaving gift who used it as part of a gaming simulator rig(testing) which failed. He saw seats up for £2k and not selling etc.

The sets on ebay with apex spares and another couple of guys who seem to have multiple sets (inc sennas) have been advertised for a year or more and not budged so he's not wrong, the supply and demand obviously isn't there at their prices or close, although I do think £500 is a bargain, but waiting on a l/h one does make even £500 a punt to get a pair, sure one will come up eventually.

I actually quite like the Artura Clubsport seats, they seem a bit cheaper 2nd too.

No coding issues to fit

Just make sure the ignition remains off all the while when fitting

I made that mistake when fitting mine and triggered the airbag light and needed it clearing
