Which are built by B.F.Torino I believe.

These come from a company in Turin called D'Eser, nothing to do with BF Torino. I have ordered several sets so will report on their quality as soon as I have seen them.

Gotta say those look pretty dang good for repro's. Save yourself about $4,000 too.

Tom's seats are real. And you can tell compared to the repros.

Nick is correct, these seats are marketed by Stefan in the USA .
BF Torino DO make a reproduction Sport Seat and I believe the quality is excellent. Sure the tilt mechanism isnt correct but neither is the other repro.
The BF Torino seat is made using an existing steel seat frame that has German approvals but has the more correct shape bolsters etc.
Having used this new seat for some time, I believe it gives much better lateral support than a real Recaro "Ideal" sports seat based upon the original ones I have sat and driven in.
And its also sold at a fair price compared to the going rate for original spotrs seats. BF Torino has also sourced some almost original houndstooth that the seat can be ordered in. If you want, you can use your original tilting Porsche headrests too as the hole pitch in the new seat is identical to the old.
Pic is below.

Hi All,
Well the Sport S seat that we have in our programm is made by Deser in Italy and has the original frame work, the original tilting headrest, we have recreated the foam and made new cast mounldings to have the original shape, and I am working on a cover for the mechanism to look as close to the original as possible.So far we were not able to get the original mechanism at a decent price.
Here a picture of our Sport S in houdstooth.
