Hi TMF

 

i was wondering if any of you guys can help me locate or share some info on such or alike seat.

 

The kind of seat i have in mind is this one in the driver seat. i think it says Recaro. 

- but it don't have to be Recaro, just a model similar to this one.

 

i only need one, and i hope you can help

 

kind regrads Nino

I would love to have something like this as you could easily fit 2 in with ample room to set them centred. Doubt recaro would make this model anymore, what ever it's called. Interested tho

exactly what i was thinking.

The modern one is just too aggressive for a mini, in my opinion.

 

But i have had some (maybe insane) ideas about a modern Recaro seat that almost look like this, the only thing differens is just the "shoulders".

- and then idea was to take it apart and then cut the shoulders of the new seat, if its strong enough and then get it retrim'd .

 

What do you think ? :)

The cobra historic was the seats I was looking at fitting but with me being in New Zealand it was going to cost me about 2 grand AUD delivered for 2 seats. Nice and narrow for easy fitment.

Those seats in the OP are gorgeous, love to find a pair of those.  Definitely nicer and more suitbale for a min than the usual high back racing seats.
