    Help needed identifying seats: possibly 356...?

    A friend got these great looking blue seats with a '65 911 and they don't look like anything I've seen in a 911, but appear to be Porsche seats. I've seen some "pre-A" seats that seem shaped like these, but I'm just not a 356 guy and maybe some of you are.

    Judging by the chrome grab handle they would be T2/T5 seats, they should have a date on the inside of the hinge, month/year.

    Let me know if you want to sell them.

    Those are 60/61 356B T5 seats and are far more rare (in this good of a contition) than 65 911 seats and are a far more valuable!
    Oh, and they wont fit in a 900 series car, either

    Regards

    They are in remarkable condition. The color wasn't captured particularly well by my phone, but they are a really beautiful gray blue material. There are some marks that almost look like masking tape on one cushion. If I were using them, I'd take a stab at cleaning, but nothing more.

    Where about is the date stamped on the brackets? Is it also stamped on later seats? Thanks.
