$14.50 sounds about right
Seriously though 14,500usd seems a tad optimistic, especially as it seems to have the wrong headrests... _________________ If it aint broke, fiddle with it until it is!

Maybe export models weren't all the same, almost all 33s have this upholstery here, vinyl in the outer part of the seats and that kind of velour in the central section. This velour easily shows use and wear, not a thick velour like Japanese cars of the period that keep its looks even after 20 years.
Some other car, very few, had Recaros with the Recaro badge on them, and some others had the same fabric that Recaros but don't have the badge, being slightly different.
The Recaros had fabric in the central part up to 15/20 cms before the upper part and a badge on them, and the side part of the back support are more pronounced, more like bucket seats, holding better the driver and passenger.
The other seats had the same fabric, exactly the same, but it goes to the upper side of the back support and to the rear part of the seat until to the place where it ends, there the bottom part that could contact the rear passengers feet are made out of vinyl and the side support is not as pronounced as the Recaros.
Different markets, models, climates, for instance all 33s here had A/C, and in other markets they don't have that ... |

Only the UK market 16v cars had Recaros as standard, in other markets they were an expensive option. The seats in that car are the standard seats, they're the same as early UK 16v seats but are trimmed in the same materials as the late Recaros. The late European market Q4s also had those seats unless fitted with optional Recaros.
Here's another non-UK late 16v with the same seats:

and a Q4 SportWagon:
