Default Interior seats

Im just wondering what are peoples opinions on the 88 spec interior if there is such one compared to the 90spec only because i have both sets and was wondering which would be more sort after, or i can sell and get a few quid maybe to go towards re welding the front of the car lol

imo, if i was lookin to buy an interior, i would be looking for condition rather than the exact model age etc, so if u really want to get some pennies for the project, id just sell the best condition 1 to make the most money

if they identical condition, then the 90spec probs going to be worth more as not as readily available, but personally i prefer the 88 spec grey with red flecks trim

I prefer the 90 spec personnally
but if needed i would buy the interior what the car come with orginally
imo both worth the same dollar but its what ever the buyer thinks its worth and how badly they want it

i like the 90spec better myself tbh but just thought id see what other people's thoughts was on it, and yeah it seems 90spec seems alot more common than the 88spec doesnt it.
Well i may have made my mind up then and will be selling one set then.

There is plenty of 90 spec, so the 88 spec would fetch more money IME...
I've just changed from 90 to 88 and it took me ages to find in very good condition, where as there was loads of good 90 spec to choose from.

88 spec are far rarer and harder to get hold of imo they are also far nicer, everyone seems to have 90 spec

You should use what the car came with from the factory IMO. I like both sets and I agree it seems much harder to find mint 88 spec seats

My car came with buckets which I didn't like, took months to find 2 decent 88spec seats and I still need to replace a bolster, paid just over £100 in the end. 90spec came up ALL the time,

Kind of prefer the red inserts and dark roof lining to but for me it was for originality.

Rob,
