Wow! Very very pretty seats.

Can you make some detailed pictures of the perforated seating? Very rare in such a good condition.

It looks like one tilting frame is a double locker (1973) frame the other one a single locker? Maybe 1972?

Good luck with the sale a very fair price IMO.

Agree with 911E fan the double locker one is a mid late 73 frame so not correct, original bases.

If seats are original I would say neither frame is original to the seats.

What's with the air pump on one of the seats pretty sure they didn't have that as an original option?

The perforated sections,,,, A little too perforated?? Just an impression of such.

I agree .

Thanks all for the comments.

I hadn't even noticed the bases were mismatched and I did source them separately, so that explains it. I know a double locker is rarer, but at least this way it's all complete, so prefer to sell exactly as pictured.

I'll add two more photo of the perforated sections. They're definitely original - and remember, it's leather, not vinyl so they're different. The gold car behind the seats is a 2.2S with original, unrestored leather Sport Seats and it's the same perforation.

At some point, I think the driver bottom cushion was restuffed and my guess is that's when they added the bladder to adjust the firmness of it.

Hi,

Seems that top part of the perforated inserts of the backrest is not perforated…..seems bolster material!?

So these really aren't original and unrestored as the title suggests.
But they are nice

@BartdeBruijn - the perforation is simply a texture stamped into the leather, it is quite a bit different from vinyl seats. And leather seats never have (as far as I've seen) perforated bolsters. So plain leather everywhere except the inserts, and the inserts have this stamped leather.

@beh911 - They've had some minor repair work, but they are not only genuine original Recaros, but original leather as well. So original and unrestored seems a pretty honest description of them. Considering most on the market are restored/recovered or reproductions, not really sure how else I should be describing them?

Think everyone assumes frames also
match the description of original which they do not
