Kirkey seat from Birkin S3.

Haha, indeed, which is why I asked about shipping.

The best unreasonable offers will be accepted.

 

Depending on the cost to ship, my hopefully-not-too-unreasonable offer would be to cover shipping cost plus some extra on top for your time and effort.

 

Full disclaimer I'm considering this very casually. I have one seat that has some minor cracking in the fiberglass, but it's on the passenger side now and not a high priority to fix/replace. But if I can get a bargain priced Kirkey that was already mounted in a Birkin....

OK, I will find out what the shipping charge is and share it with you.  

Do you have the original Birkin seats?

If so, they are not to bad.   

The Birkin requires some very skinny seats.  Not for those with robust bottoms.

OK, Those are distinctly different from mine.  I will send you a photo.  I like the cockpit trim you have.  Did you do that yourself.  I am making a lot of saw dust while working on a version myself.  Yours is much simpler than what I have been struggling with.  You even have an arm rest.  I am jealous.

That was just a picture pulled from a google search. Pictures of my car (but of the interior) can be seen here: 

I'll send you a text message and we can continue there. Thanks!

If not sold I'd like to throw my hat in the ring.  Do you know what width and what model it is?  Needing a track daye seat for the Birkin I bought late fall. 

 

I'm in Oregon.  97045 area code if needed to figure shipping.

Cueball, the Kirkey seat is your s if you want it.  No charge for the seat.  What city are you in?

Sorry the other person didn't work out but happy for me!  Will pm my information.  Let me know how much on shipping and how to get you the money. 

 

I enjoyed watching this car on BAT.  Impressive vehicle.  Interesting watching you take it from track beast to fast road car.

It was a track beast on BAT, but unfortunately not so much upon delivery.   

There were several shortcomings that pointed the way back to the street. 

I have spent far more hours working on the shortcomings than driving the car.   

Having said that this project has been really fun.  

 

I picked up a 2009 Lotus Elise which is properly set up for a solid track day.

The Seven is still much more fun to tinker with and drive for sure.

Bummer the car didn't live up to the advertisement. Hope it becomes the car you're wanting it to be soon!

 

I feel I got very lucky buying mine off craigslist.  Needs some misc things done to get it to my expectations but not really due to any shortcomings. 🤞 Just making it fit my useage.
