There’s some Red and Black ones on eBay for a reasonable amount, but in need of some restoration.

They look cheap on the face of it. But here's how I look at it.

Both the driver backrest and base covers need panels replacing. In the case of the backrest possibly inner and outer bolster panels.The base cover because it is so badly worn as well as the hole in it.

There are no bases either. These would cost £150 to buy or if you didn't want them you can sell and recoup £150 if they were present.

So the equivalent price for the lot with the bases is £600. That does include the door cards although 1 has a broken handle. So if these were worth £100 the seats are effectively £500 for comparison. I think that's quite a lot of money for something that needs around £100 of an upholsterer's time plus a donor seat cover if the leather can't be matched.

I'd probably value the lot at closer to £300.

I call it the 'cod piece'.

It's a matter of personal choice but I prefer the non cod piece Sport Seats as the leather is a lot more resistant to wear.
