Classic Rally-Inspired Design

The Monte Carlo takes its inspiration from the classic Recaro and Scheel sports seats used throughout the late 1960s and 1970s.

Rather than having the aggressive appearance of a fixed-back racing bucket seat, the Monte Carlo offers a more understated touring-style design appropriate for road-driven classic cars.

This makes it particularly suitable for classic Porsche restorations and restomods where improved support is required without making the interior look overly competition focused.

The Balance Between Sport & Comfort

The Monte Carlo has been designed to bridge the gap between a conventional touring seat and a classic competition seat.

Its supportive shape helps hold the driver securely during enthusiastic driving, while the reclining backrest and Duralastic suspension provide the comfort required for longer journeys.

This combination makes the Monte Carlo particularly suitable for:

• Classic road cars 2+2 sports coupés
• Historic rally-inspired builds
• Long-distance touring
• Fast-road classic cars
• Restorations and restomods
• Cars retaining standard 3-point seatbelts

Reclining & Fully Adjustable Backrest

Unlike many fixed-back classic sports seats, the Monte Carlo incorporates a reclining backrest.

The backrest angle can be adjusted to suit the individual driver, providing greater flexibility when setting the driving position and improved comfort during longer journeys.

This is particularly useful for classic cars that are driven regularly rather than being used purely for competition or occasional events.

Forward-Folding Backrest for Rear Access

The Monte Carlo is particularly well suited to classic 2+2 coupés because the backrest can be folded forward.

This provides easier access to the rear seating or luggage area, retaining an important practical feature of the original front seats.

For classic Porsche 911 and other 2+2 coupé applications, this makes the Monte Carlo a practical alternative to a fixed-back sports seat.

Lightweight Steel Tube Frame

Each Monte Carlo seat is handmade around a lightweight steel tube frame.

The tubular construction provides a rigid foundation for the seat while helping keep unnecessary weight to a minimum.

The seat incorporates a one-sided hinge arrangement with fibreglass hinge covers, maintaining the classic appearance while providing the adjustment required for regular road use.

Duralastic Suspension for Added Comfort

Duralastic suspension belts are incorporated into the seat construction to provide a supportive but comfortable seating platform.

Rather than relying entirely on thick foam, the Duralastic system supports the occupant while allowing controlled movement beneath the seat cushion.

Combined with fire-resistant foam, this provides the firm support expected from a sports seat while maintaining the comfort needed for touring and longer journeys.

Designed for Standard 3-Point Seatbelts

This version of the Retro Trim Monte Carlo Seat Frame Kit is intended for cars retaining standard 3-point seatbelts.

It is particularly suitable for road-focused classic cars where the owner wants improved support and classic rally styling without converting the vehicle to a competition harness arrangement.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the Monte Carlo as a seat frame kit allows the finished upholstery to be tailored precisely to your vehicle.

The kit can be supplied to your preferred local upholsterer or interior restoration specialist, allowing the seats to be trimmed alongside the rest of the interior.

This allows anything from a subtle period-correct touring interior to a more distinctive bespoke restomod specification.

Optional Hardback Covers

Optional hardback covers are available for the Monte Carlo, providing another opportunity to customise the finished seat.

The hardback covers can be:

• Painted in the vehicle's body colour
• Upholstered in leather
• Finished to complement the interior
• Left in their original black gel-coat finish

Body-coloured hardbacks can provide a particularly distinctive appearance, while leather-covered versions offer a more luxurious touring-style finish.
