A while back I managed to find a good priced tidy blue Sparco Kevlar Pro 2000 seat designed for a six point harness, the thing is I've been hunting high and low for another secondhand one but have had no luck at all

 

 

Here are a few pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really didn't want to spend a fortune on a new one so I just accepted the fact that I wasn't going to find another one

 

 

then just before New Year I spotted another blue Sparco seat fitted for a six point harness with a painted yellow plastic back on ebay....ok, so it wasn't a Pro 2000 model and it wasn't kevlar but it looked like it offered good support and with it being painted yellow, it wouldn't stand out too much

 

I placed an opening bid of £40 and left it......I'm chuffed to nuts 'cos I won it!

 

 

All good so far, the only down side was that I'd have to pick it up in person from London

 

So I spoke to the seller and arranged for me to pick it up today. It was exactly as described in as much as it would need a clean and a bit of a tidy up but it wasn't 'exactly' as described in the ebay ad

 

I handed over the £40 to Luke (the seller) and he handed me the seat. Straight away I thought 'bugger me that's light'. We shook hands and I left carrying the seat back to the shortie'.......I had a quick look over it when I got to the car and would you believe it......it's kevlar!!!

 

 

Here's a quick pic:

 

 

 

and it came with a few sets of rails and a Luke harness as well

 

Like I said....chuffed to nuts and hopefully a sign of things to come in 2012

:dance:

nice one slapper thats a bargain!!! even more so with kevlar, harness and rails! jammy barsteward! :bow:

Result :cool2:

cool but are you having one blue and one black??

No mate, these are the pics from both ebay ads and they aren't very clear

 

 

Initially I thought the Pro 2000 was black as well, then it arrived and I realised it was blue (though the ad did state it, I just missed it)

 

The pics don't show it very clearly but they are both the same shade of blue

 

 

the Sparco seat that I've temporarily fitted in the shortie' at the moment is black, I'll be selling this with the Luke harness shortly

 

 

I've managed to find two genuine Takata 6 point harnesses that will go with the two blue Sparco's, one Takata is already installed, the other will be fitted in the morning

you must be selling your black sparco for £40 aswell then :whistling: ;)

It's a bit tatty with a couple of small worn areas (Ideal for a track car) but yeah, I'd sell it for £40 cash (seat only) and if somebody wanted to collect or arrange their own courier I'd go with that

 

Pass on the good fortune and all that :thumbup1:

Here are a few pics of my old Sparco seat as promised, my appologies for the quality of the pics, it's blowing a gale out there!

He did have a LH side Bride rail....I bought it thinking it was for the RH side

 

there are a few (slightly different) RH rails on there at the moment which I've got my eye on, though this latest Sparco already has a custom rail fitted

 

I've also got a couple of OMP rails in the loft
