Hi all.
I am on the look out for a nice set of seats,trim panels etc for a traveller,in black,blue,grey,or red,maybe 2 tone.
What would a fair price be for a V nice set of front seats,rear seats,door and int panels and carpets for a traveller?
A mate has informed me of a G reg traveller not far from me in a scrappie,recently brought in due to terminal rust/rot,but the interior is apparently surprisingly good,and may have been renewed in the cars past,or possibly a rare excellent original.
It has been off the road for 10yrs and kept garaged,dont know the cars mileage yet,gotta get over there PDQ!
If I do decide to do a full on restoration on my car,after its MOT'd and on the road,I may well get all new from Newton commercial anyway,but for the time being a good s/h set is on my shopping list.
Obviously I would like to get it as cheap as poss,but also I dont want to pay way over its value,as I have no idea!
Your opinions gratefully accepted!
Cheers.
PS
I know some of you may say that its worth what you are willing to pay,or the seller is willing to accept!!
Or its difficult to say without looking at it!!
But thats not saying what YOU think its worth based on your experience!

For a full interior my experience is at least £100, and generally they had defects (Usually the odd tear, grubby carpets etc). I have never seen a decent interior complete come up for sale. Usually decent sets of seats come up, and they can fetch £100 alone. If I was you I would buy bits up as they come up, and get a new carpet set, usually the used ones are missing bits or rather grubby.

Not exactly what you were looking for, but it should give you an idea and thats my experiences
