Inspired by Porsche's Monza Motorsport History

Monza was one of the fastest circuits in the world and played an important role in Porsche's early competition history.

Porsche took the lightweight 911 R to Monza for endurance record attempts, demonstrating the performance and durability of the car over sustained high-speed running.

The Monza seat takes its name from this famous circuit in recognition of the drivers and cars associated with this important period of Porsche motorsport.

Classic Early Porsche Bucket Seat Design

The Monza takes inspiration from the lightweight glass fibre bucket seats used in early Porsche racing and rally cars.

This type of seat offered considerably greater lateral support than conventional road seating while reducing unnecessary weight and giving the cockpit a purposeful competition appearance.

Porsche used this style of seat in its lightweight 911 R models, making the Monza particularly appropriate for period-inspired Porsche competition builds and restorations.

R & ST-Inspired Seating Profile

The Monza combines characteristics of the classic R and ST-style seats.

It provides easier entry and exit than the more restrictive R-style seat while offering taller side support than the ST-style design.

The upper section is also slightly wider, providing a useful balance between lateral support, driver space and accessibility.

This makes the Monza suitable for drivers who want the support of a classic competition seat without choosing an excessively restrictive bucket design.

Designed for a 5-Point Harness

This version of the Monza Seat Shell Kit is specifically equipped for use with a 5-point seatbelt harness.

The shell incorporates openings for the waist/lap belts and is supplied with rosettes to provide a neat, finished appearance around the harness openings.

This makes it particularly suited to classic rally cars, historic motorsport-inspired builds and performance-focused restomods where a multi-point harness system is being installed.

The harness must always be installed using appropriate mounting points and according to the harness manufacturer's instructions and any regulations applicable to the vehicle's intended use.

Lightweight Glass Fibre Shell

The Monza uses a lightweight glass fibre shell that provides a rigid and supportive foundation for the finished seat.

Its one-piece construction maintains a slim, clean profile while providing the lateral support expected from a classic competition seat.

The smooth rear surface is also an important part of the Monza's period appearance and can either be left exposed or incorporated into the chosen upholstery design.

Duralastic Seat Suspension

The redesigned Monza incorporates Duralastic suspension within the seat structure.

The Duralastic system provides controlled support beneath the occupant, helping create a firm but more comfortable seating position than a completely rigid seat cushion.

Combined with fire-resistant foam, it provides additional comfort during longer road, rally or historic motorsport events while retaining the supportive characteristics of the glass fibre shell.

Headrest Support Provision

Although the original Monza-style competition seats were not normally supplied with headrests, the redesigned Retro Trim shell incorporates provision for headrest supports.

These have been integrated without disrupting the smooth rear appearance of the seat shell, allowing the finished specification to be tailored to the individual vehicle.

Trip Device Attachment Provision

The Monza also incorporates provision for a trip device attachment.

This can be particularly useful in historic rally applications where navigation, distance or timing equipment needs to be positioned within the cockpit.

The feature adds versatility for cars being prepared for classic rally and touring events.

Original-Style Upholstery Options

Historically, this style of seat could be finished in two distinctive ways.

The shell could be completely upholstered in leatherette or leather, creating a more traditional finished appearance.

Alternatively, the seat could be trimmed in the style associated with R and ST competition seats, leaving the rear shell in a glossy black finish while extending the leatherette or leather around the seat bolsters.

Both approaches allow the finished Monza to be tailored to the character of the vehicle.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the Monza as a seat shell kit gives you the freedom to choose your own upholstery materials and have the work completed by your preferred local trimmer or interior restoration specialist.

This allows the seats to be matched precisely to the rest of the vehicle interior.

Why Choose the Retro Trim Monza?

The Monza provides a particularly effective combination of classic Porsche motorsport appearance, lightweight construction and increased driver support.

Its profile bridges the gap between the more restrictive R-style seat and the lower-sided ST-style seat, while this version adds dedicated provision for a 5-point harness.

Retro Trim Monza 5-Point Harness Classic Porsche Seat Shell Kits

The Retro Trim Monza Seat Shell Kit provides a period-inspired seating solution for classic Porsche owners who want the appearance of an early competition bucket seat combined with dedicated provision for a 5-point harness.

Inspired by the lightweight seating associated with Porsche 911 R and early racing and rally cars, the Monza combines elements of the classic R and ST seat designs. Taller side bolsters provide useful lateral support, while its wider upper profile and easier entry make it less restrictive than some traditional racing buckets.

For historic rally, motorsport-inspired restoration and performance restomod projects, the lightweight glass fibre shell, Duralastic suspension and dedicated harness openings provide a strong combination of period appearance, support and practicality.
