just to clarify for those interested in this awesome JCW, it was originally configured with these English leather seats and is not a interior swapped car. But I do agree that almost every R53 would benefit from having the best R53 seats installed if they didn’t come with them originally.
Sweet, I wonder why you don't see many optioned like this, the seats in my r53 made the interior seem dated and I can't imagine they looked any different when purchased new.

I had those seats in my 06 fJCW and while they look great, they wear fast with stitching unraveling or leather ripping in a number of places.
Fun fact: there seem to have been 2 different revisions for the R50/52/53 English Leather seats. One version has tight leather patches on the front edge of the seat, leather on these seats seem thin too. The other has a thicker leather and loose, almost pleat like patches.

Thats a good find, but its hard to believe a JCW with 107k miles is selling for $9k. Yeah, this from a guy selling a 2004 JCW for $11.5k. As much as I love an aero kit and English Leather seats, it seems high.

I think the main reason you don’t see many is that the seats were around $1700 as a stand alone option.
:p NO! Nobody ever has or ever will again! Looks like an R53 with JCW kit and exhaust. Debadged and painted that awful green color. No underhood pics so can't be sure if its just exterior bits or if they have a true JCW tune/kit. It's definately NOT for the average person with the color and custom badges...
So I had to do it... I contacted this one and asked what all mods were done and if he could send a pic of the engine bay. He replied with it is 100% stock and has everything you would expect for a JCW. Here is the pic... A little dirty and obviously an early 04 based on the pass upper engine mount but it has JCW bits. If you are into this color it might be a worth the price with this low miles. BUUTTT salvage title kinda makes me cringe...
EDIT: Notice the front core support... That's for an R50 not R53. Obviously had front end damage and replace parts as he could find them. I know because I had to do this recently and wound up buying the wrong core support on the first shot... $3500 max anyone?
