They look like VERY early (and quite rare) Recaro seats.

What are they worth?  Depends on how much somebody would want to pay for them.  They do look in very good shape though.

Edited to add:  They were Original Omega fit as a cost option.

I figured they are from a preface lift. Yup there about as good asthey come. Need to double check if there recaro or not. They are sort of "buckety" not like the normal omega sofa you get. Any ideas on value? Heated electric up and down but no memory settings

Those are exactly the same seats I have in my recently deceased MV6 (mini facelift '98). :'(

They're very comfy - the front part of the front seats moves forward/backwards to adjust for upper leg length.

I'm after £150 quid for mine - but they're not as shiney as the ones in your pics.

Yup I'd go with that. Standard MV6/Sport Facelift seats.

Yep, 2000 to 2002, later one's where a different hide, unless they have been retro fitted in which case could be MFL MV6.

In good nick, Saloon £150, Estate £200.

Being black, rather than very dark grey, I'd say 1998 or 1999 MV6 leather...  ...just as I have in my MV6.

I wouldn't say especially rare, quite comfy, good support, but suffer all the usual leather problems (too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and quite noisy)

Sadly, of the 5 Omegas I've owned, 3 have had leather, including the current 2 ;).

By far, the most comfortable Omega seat I've had is the cloth Elite seats. Cool in Summer, warm in winter even before the heaters kick in.

don't forget that ALL Omega seats are Recaro seats, irrespective of the model.

Generally speaking, there's standard-shaped seats and "sports seats" with the moveable knee-bolster as fitted to MV6.

There were also some Sports seats with the "Recaro" branding on the seat cover rather than on a sticker underneath.

These look like pre-facelift sports seats in black leather
