    Looking for 1968/69 bucket seats

    Dear members, I am looking for bucket seats, that were used on the works modified rally versions around 1968-69.
    According to the documents that I have for the car, it was equipped with cord seats and from the original photos of the car, the bolsters seems to have a perforation.
    I’m located in the EU and would be very thankful about more detailed information about what seats these are and ultimately finding a pair so that I can put the car back to it’s original specification.
    Thanks, Fred1EEC00B0-D995-476E-9C76-12FCADEDDF88.jpg

    hello fred, if these are buckets, then you definitely have to look out for 4-leg buckets, since the recaro rallye 1 (after 4-leg) didn't have any perforations. Hope I could help a bit.

    if your documents (birth certificate from porsche/order documents or similar) show the option "buckets" it would be interesting to post that here - thank you very much.


    regards uwe

    Hello Uwe, thank you for your help and the information. It definitely helps me in my search! ����
    uai posted photos above, from what appears to be the correct version.

    I have the birth certificate and could post a copy soon, but it only states cord seats, among other rally equipment. I was incredibly lucky to find the b&w photo of my actual car, posted above, that gives a hint of what they looked like when used 1969.

    Regards, Fred

    Hello Fred, the seats shown in the b&w photo are no buckets but Recaro Sport seats.
    Best
