    Early recaro seat – original or not?

    Hi all
    I have this seat which is supposed to be an original early Recaro seat (tried to insert pictures below). From what I can see it looks like the 911R seat. Obviously it has a newer and not correctly done upholstery job and it’s also painted silver. Besides that, what do you experts think. Is it an original Recaro or some later repro?

    Judged by its patina it sure has some age.

    Thanks in advance!

    The austrian candidate.
    I declined on that without seeing it from the inside without upholstering.
    From the outside I'd say no.
    However I bought some seats in the past from the PO which were genuine.
    Cheers

    i dont remember seeing an original 4 leg recaro that doesnt have 2 rows of grommets. Also the slider holes are not as they should be, there should be 2 threaded holes on each leg. Not for pebble beach but it should work just fine for you and look good.
