Well it was not the "good" camera, just the one at the workshop, so not a great deal to replace.
The pictures do not really show what it is - this is BMW Courduroy as used on e3, e9 and 2002 Luxus and it is blue.
The other Idealsitz S I have is still in original upholstry, and black/black, but needs work, and the other 2 have have been upholstered already.
But it's a grat seat which has the old look but the feel of the later L, LN and LS models - and costs a fraction of the Idealsitz (S-Seat)
More Pictures to come when I have the camera and seats at the same time at the same place.

Thx for posting these brochures uai. Can you tell me the recaro model numbers of the 4 seats on the left page ? I cannot make out the numbers printed on top of the blue background. And do you know when either of these brochures were printed (ASS and /or Recaro) . I would guess 1979 or later on the ASS , as the 400S shown is the later version (earlier versions were still being used by Alpina in 1978 Model year) . Earlier I believe on the recaro literature.


And does anyone know , did Scheel purchase ASS or vice-versa , and when ? (I would guess Scheel bought ASS). As they are obviously owned by the same parent co. Look on the seats in this ASS literature. They all have the Scheel badges , not the ASS. And even on an actual ASS badge. The Scheel shield logo is present (you can also see this in the ASS logo on this brochure / lower left).

Hello,
the numbers of the 4 Recaro on the left are
13.00.00 Recaro Rallye (both have the same number)
13.28.00 and 13.25.00
So they are the same as on the Black and white Page.

I would guess 1979 or later on the ASS , as the 400S shown is the later version (earlier versions were still being used by Alpina in 1978 Model year) .

The Recaro has to be before 74, but my guess is around '70±1.
With the History of ASS, Scheel and Scheelmann I am not yet really good.
Scheel has been in Stuttgart (afaik I think they also moved from Untertürkheim to Ditzingen once) [ <- i'll try to figure that out when I'm home and have some books and magazines], then in the early 70's Scheel moved to Karlsfeld nr. Munic. Address and Phone of ASS is identical to Scheel.
Although I have a 1974 Scheel Catalogue where ASS is not mentioned, there are some 1974 Documents with both companys Scheel Schalensitze Gmbh & Co and ASS Auto-Sport-Spezialsitze so it will probably have been in 1974.
From 1988 Scheel-Mann is north of Stuttgart (Pleidelsheim), and ASS-Autositze is located in Weinheim nr. Heidelberg.

Thx uai ,

I guess the differance I was speaking of on the 400S type scheels (early / later) is really a model that , from seeing this brochure. Seemingly was discontined (the 400) . And replaced with the 400S

Here is a shot of one of my Scheel 501 in my 68S:



Nice and comfy for long distances!

Was the Rallye 13.28.00 ever mounted by the factory? If so, what model car?

I have this seat that was allegedly taken out of a race Porsche in 1975, but I don't know if it was a factory seat or aftermarket.
