Help identify these seats please
These came with my 930 advertised as recaro sports? They dont look like they were original to me. Price range would help too if I put these for sale here in Europe.
TIA.

Look like BMW E30 sport seats... designed by but not manufactured by, Recaro.

Certainly not completely worthless. I could be wrong in my guess of identity.
Otherwise, Depending on your local market, I would estimate 1/4 to 1/2 of value for non-recaro. There can be exceptions for categorically "mint" examples that would play a part in a NOS restoration effort. In the VW world with the mk2 8v GTi having similar style compared with the 16v having the authentic, emblazoned Recaro that's what we see.

BMW Recaro Sport Seats, correct. Not worthless. But not for your Porsche ...
