    thank you uli. I had thought you would have written somewhere in another thread that you classify the seat as a recaro. but we are of one opinion: scheel - very early scheel 400.

    many years ago i bought a scheel bucket. The seller was an old man who worked for 40 years at the porsche plant and had a hobby of collecting racing parts. According to him, the Scheel was installed in Björn Waldegaard's factory rally car as a driver's seat until it was dismantled in 1970 or 1971 (I don't remember exactly) and replaced by another model. whether the story was believable or not? there is a lot to be said for it - but also a lot against it. here is a detailed picture of the seat.

    regards
