Default Ghia leather seats

How many Eseries Ghias had full leather seats?
Was it an option or standard fitment?

Only asking because they look to be a pretty spot on copy for the seats in my XR6 which are ripped. I'd like to upgrade to the leather.

I've found a whole EB ghia in vic on ebay for $1200 with what looks like a good interior.

Cheers for any info

I know on the EB2 ghia, it was a NCO to go to full leather.

Cheers

Leather was optional, part leather and velour was standard.

Here's the leather seats I had in my now departed ED Ghia. Same as XR but leather trimmed.

Cool thanks for that. Im getting pics in the morning for the local car. I hope the seats look like that.

Another question... does the fabric piece come off the door trim as i want the matching leather but dont want the electric windows.

not sure on that one you'll get away with front as you could put the holes in for window winders rears are a bit of a different story.

Personally i'd convert to electric having them back again in my fairmont is awesome forgot how much easier it is with them and keyless entry.

And when you put that turbo on it'll balance out the extra weight

Bossxr8 that looked like a njice car cobalt blue and fairmont ghia love to have that

Hell no! Both my AU XR8 and AU forte had electric windows and I hated them. I like the winder, less stuff can go wrong with that.

Then when I det the turbo it'll still be faster!

It was also a V8 with every Tickford option, sunroof, bodykit, wheels, momo wheel and Tickford suspension.

It got crunched last year and sold at auction by the insurance company as a repairable write off.
