Title: Ute Seat
Post by: Emu on August 31, 2003, 09:15:56 AM
Hey Guys,
I drove 3 hours from my home on the Gold Coast into the deep north of NSW today to look at (among other things) a front seat for my Station Sedan.

Turns out to be a UTE seat!! No back panel of vinyl.
Interestingly though it has never been in a car as far as I can tell. The guy says its new and has been sitting in his shed out in the bush for millenia.

I'm not familiar with the Ute seat, but it seems to have a clear plastic covering which is sewn in at production. The only problem with the seat is that this plastic has gone quite opaque. Underneath, the seat is two tone grey and red. Mainly red, and the grey may have been a cream initially. Otherwise very nice.

He was asking $150.00 but would probably go for $100.00. I'm not sure if this is a good deal, but I have been thinking since I left it sitting on his driveway that someone on this forum may really want an item like this.

Let me know any Uties if you want more deatils.

Hi Emu, Thats sounds unusual, as far as I know ute seats should be all 1 colour. Could it have been a sedan or wagon seat minus the vinyl back?
Was it an FE or an FC pattern? ???

I'm thinking u r right Geoff.

It didn't have the ribbing of my Fc seat, it was a flat pattern and silver/grey certainly describes the second colour.

I think we've solved it
