It might be a re-covered Scheel. Sam, we need you!

Typically you can tell the difference between the Scheel and Recaro by the fact that Scheel most of the time has the entire seat recovered like this one does. The shape of the seat is similar in the upper bolsters to both the Scheel 300, and the Recaro "st".

However, the back of the seat shows the headrest provisions in the curves of the fiberglass, and that is more signature to the Recaro.

My guess is that it is a Recaro with the back covered.......

Sam, you have any input>?

[Rennman]

It looks to be a Recaro to me. I have the same seat in vinyl with a basketweave center.

Best,

Don

if I had to guess I'd say Recaro, for the same reasons that Eric (Soterik) mentioned the easiest way to tell most of the time is if their is original hardware present but for some reason their are a large number of seats floating around without, and after someone has had one recovered it even gets harder as every trimmer tends to do things their own way.

Interesting Seat Eric. Bring it by later this week and we will "test fit" it into my car

From the shape, I would say it could be either a high side bolstered Recaro or a Scheel - they both have similar front shapes and on those Scheels that allow headrests the back shape is also very similar. However, every Scheel I've seen has a yellow fiberglass bottom, while Recaro's are black. So I would say it is likely a Recaro (or possibly a repainted Scheel).
