No personal experience with them but they have been around for quite some time.

With the strong dollar and the weak Euro I'm thinking these could be a good buy.

I've had three pairs of their Sport S seat on client cars and I like them: reasonable price, well-made, comfortable = good value. One seat needed its backrest adjustment lock tweaked a bit but I'll continue to use them in the future.

Alan at Canford uses them also.
I think they were the first to do the replica seats in bigger numbers.

Got them in my 912. Beautiful work. Can't produce a photo because car is in shop. Turned to them when I could not find beige fabric as required by my Kardex. They could not do vinyl but did them in leather. Actually rolled the basket weave pattern and provided the extra leather so I could do '68 door panels.



Sent the leather to Tony at Autobahn and he made up door panels If you look on Autobahn's site you can find a picture of the door panels. The beige sport seats against the Irish green car are gorgeous. I seem to remember that the "Mr. Fiat" vendor was their US rep. Please no negatives about armrests not being black. I chose the beige and the green painted dash. Wood dash panel is by crawford.

If I understand you correctly, You sent D'eser leather and they embossed the basketweave for you? Who do I contact for this service?

[doigthom]

No. I told them what I wanted for the seat and they purchased the leather, dyed it and pressed it. As a courtesy (at a cost) they did extra leather so that I could complete the interior. Essentially the prepared plain, perforated and basket weave leather matched to the Porsche color chart. They are selling seats, not leather. I'm sure they had some leather company in Italy do it to their specifications. I have no idea who that was. I believe Tony Garcia at Autobahn has a similar source/supplier, but I'm not sure. By the way D'esser did not pressure me to allow them to do the door panels or rear seats. As I said they are selling seats.

Do they also offer the early 67 style sports seats? Been thinking about getting a set for my 912

[doigthom]

Those are sports seats. they did not offer the distinction between '67 and '68 seats (thickness of seat backs). I dislike headrests generally so I had them made without the headrest inserts. Told my self if my car had been made prior to 1/1/68 (its not) would not have had headrests as required by DOT safety regs of that year. Of course I am sure they would still have been '67 style. So essentially fudging things. Also have an alternator, painted dash and '68S rocker moldings and put in an outside temp gauge. Its a silver bezel which drives me nuts. Just picked up a black bezel which I'll substitute and use the silver for my '67 912 which is waiting in the wings. OCD is a wonderful/awful sickness. As I have seen here many times; "Its your car and do it like you like it".
