Inspired by the famous Recaro Ideal seat fitted to period Porsche and other German sports coupés, the Sport S combines authentic vintage styling with a newly manufactured, stronger seat frame and carefully reproduced foam profile.

Supplied as a un-upholstered seat frame kit, it gives you the freedom to have the upholstery completed locally in your choice of leather, vinyl, fabric or period-correct material.

Ideal for classic Porsche restorations, restomods and other European classic cars where period appearance, comfort and improved support are equally important.

Classic Recaro Ideal-Inspired Design

The Recaro Ideal became one of the defining sports seats of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The Retro Trim Sport S takes inspiration from this iconic design, carefully recreating the characteristic proportions and foam shape associated with the original seat.

Moulds have been produced specifically for the seat foam to ensure each Sport S maintains a consistent shape and profile.

Rather than using an original-style frame construction, the Sport S uses sturdy square-section steel tubing to create a strong foundation for the finished seat.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

One of the main advantages of choosing a Retro Trim Seat Frame Kit is the freedom to select your own upholsterer and interior specification.

Instead of purchasing a completely finished seat, the kit can be supplied to your preferred local trim or restoration specialist.

This allows you to:

  • Match the seats to an existing interior
  • Choose your preferred leather, vinyl or fabric
  • Recreate a period-correct interior
  • Create a bespoke restomod specification
  • Coordinate seats, door cards and interior trim
  • Have all upholstery work completed by the same specialist
  • Avoid shipping finished upholstered seats between workshops

Lightweight Steel Frame Construction

Each seat is handmade around a lightweight protected steel tube frame.

The Sport S uses square-section steel tubing to provide a sturdy structure while retaining the traditional proportions and appearance expected from a classic sports seat.

Fire-resistant foam is combined with Duralastic support belts within the seat frame, helping provide a comfortable yet supportive driving position.

The result is a seat designed to offer greater lateral support than a conventional flat classic-car seat while remaining suitable for road use and longer journeys.

Standard 3-Point Seatbelt Version

This Sport S Seat Frame Kit is designed for vehicles using standard 3-point seatbelts.

This makes it particularly suitable for classic road cars and restomods where improved seating support is required without converting the vehicle to a competition harness arrangement.

Oval Headrests Included

The seat frame kit is supplied with Oval-style headrests, helping complete the classic late-1960s and early-1970s appearance.

Alternative upgraded headrest styles are also available depending on the desired interior specification.

Seat Hinges Included
Seat hinges are included with the frame kit.

An optional tilting bracket is also available, allowing the seat to tilt forward for easier access to the rear seating area. This is particularly useful for classic Porsche 911 and other two-door coupé applications where rear access is required.

Why Choose a Retro Trim Seat Frame Kit?

For a classic restoration or restomod, the seats have a major influence on both the appearance of the interior and the driving experience.

The Sport S provides the opportunity to retain an authentic period-inspired appearance while using newly manufactured frames, foam and support components rather than relying on worn original seats.

Key advantages include:

  • Classic late-1960s and early-1970s sports seat styling
  • Inspired by the original Recaro Ideal
  • Handmade construction
  • Lightweight protected steel frame
  • Sturdy square-section tubing
  • Accurately moulded seat foam
  • Fire-resistant foam
  • Duralastic support belts
  • Supportive yet comfortable seating position
  • Designed for standard 3-point seatbelts
  • Oval-style headrests included
  • Seat hinges included
  • Optional tilting mechanism available
  • Choice of upholstery through your local specialist
  • Ideal for restorations and bespoke restomods

 Retro Trim Sport S Classic Car Seat Frame Kits

Retro Trim Seat Frame Kits provide a flexible solution for owners restoring or modifying classic Porsche, BMW and other European sports cars.

The Sport S is particularly suited to projects requiring the appearance of a late-1960s or early-1970s sports seat without relying on increasingly rare and expensive original seating.

Inspired by the historic Recaro Ideal, the Sport S combines a carefully reproduced classic seat profile with modern replacement frame construction, fire-resistant foam and Duralastic support.

Supplying the seat as a frame kit also allows your chosen upholsterer to create a finish tailored specifically to the vehicle, whether the objective is an original-style restoration, period motorsport appearance or completely bespoke restomod interior.
