How much would they be worth to trim? seen more ambiguous sellers asking greater money for rubbish. saying that i have never paid to get seats trimmed.

These are not my seats. BUT

You guys are extremely harsh. How about going out and getting a quote to restore your own seats.

I did. I went to one of Adelaide's motor trimmers who concentrates on restoration of vintage cars. The cash price for front and rear seats was $800. Was going to be closer to $1000 if I wanted receipts. And that was using the old parts without the frames being powder coated or springs replaced or anything like what this guy on ebay looks like he's done.

The days of 10c cans of beer are over. You're no longer able to pay 1960's prices for 1960's mini gear. I think this guy is close to the right money for what he is selling.

Ok, he probably wont get the $1000.00 starting bid. But I believe they're worth around $750-$800.
