A few BD seats:

Original untouched perfect six leg middle seat for Kombi (still a little bit wet from cleaning the seat material).

Six leg middle seat frame only, but perfect!

FIVE (!) leg middle seat in perfect condition, from Portuguese BD, locally manufactured, with wooden frame.

Last row of a BD Kleinbus, perfect untouched condition.

These unique seats came with my 1953 Kombi. Up to now no one could tell me anything about the background of these bus seats. Any info is greatly apreciated!

it was now worth $0.01 per pound.

So.. do yout think this statement still hold true now? or has it gone up? Has scrap metal turned to gold?

I think both the steel and the full seat prices have risen slightly.
