Wow I wonder how they got hold of 3 sets. I could sure use a set to replace the aftermarket ones in mine but shipping to New Zealand would be horrendous.

Hi Arrian,
Don't think too much. Buy and arrange sea shipment..
I did the same when bidding on a front and rear John Cooper recliners.
That was an impulse purchase but everytime when I saw that in my Mini, it brought me good smile.

I think i know who this seller is, and if i'm correct he is a member on here and got them from the era liquidation sale along with loads of other spares.

I come here to confess....

After the item listed is expired, I contacted the seller to have the item relisted....
And by accident pressed the "buy it now button" couple days ago.
Now the seats are on the way from Scotland to Kent.

Cannot wait to see the brand new seat in flesh.

Oops, but then a brand new set of seats would be nice. How much was the shipping to your part of the world?

[Thomas_hmlo]

Dear Arrian,

Well..... My UK contact is located nearby London...
So I arranged the parcel to be picked up from Scotland and delivered to London first. The inland courier costed me around GBP80. If ticked for an insurance, additional GBP20.00
The parcel is now in London. My friend asked for GBP100.00 to deliver them back to HK by sea.

Wow that's cheap shipping to HK, I thought it would have been a lot more.
