Inspired by Vic Elford

Vic Elford was one of the most versatile racing drivers of his era, competing successfully across rallying, endurance racing, sports cars and Formula One.

His career included events such as the Monte Carlo Rally, Targa Florio, Daytona and Nürburgring, driving machinery from manufacturers including Porsche, Ford, Triumph, McLaren, Chaparral and Cooper.

The Vic Elford seat was created as a tribute to this remarkable motorsport career, combining the appearance of a classic European rally seat with practical features suited to modern classic-car use.

Scheel 101-Inspired Styling

European rally and sports cars of the period were frequently equipped with Scheel sports seats.

The Vic Elford takes inspiration from the classic Scheel 101 seat design associated with BMW, Lancia, Fiat and Porsche 914 applications of the era.

Rather than being a direct reproduction, the Vic Elford is an original Retro Trim design that captures the period appearance while incorporating additional support, comfort and adjustability.

Adjustable Backrest

One of the defining features of the Vic Elford is its adjustable backrest.

Many traditional classic sports and racing seats use a fixed-back design. The adjustable Vic Elford allows the driver to alter the backrest angle to achieve a more comfortable driving position.

This is particularly beneficial for classic cars used on longer journeys, tours and road rallies where the supportive characteristics of a sports seat are required without sacrificing everyday comfort.

Lightweight Steel Tube Frame

Each Vic Elford seat is handmade around a lightweight steel tube frame.

The one-piece frame construction provides a strong foundation for the seat while retaining the traditional shape and proportions expected from a classic European sports seat.

Fire-resistant foam and Duralastic support belts are incorporated into the construction to provide a firm but comfortable seating position.

Designed for Standard 3-Point Seatbelts

This version of the Vic Elford Seat Frame Kit is intended for classic cars retaining standard 3-point seatbelts.

It provides a practical solution for road-focused restorations and restomods where improved driver support and classic motorsport styling are desired without converting the vehicle to a competition harness arrangement.

Improved Support for Taller & Wider Drivers

The Vic Elford has been designed to accommodate taller and wider occupants more comfortably than many compact classic racing seats.

Its proportions provide additional space while maintaining high lateral and knee support to help hold the driver securely during enthusiastic driving.

This makes it particularly suitable for drivers who find traditional narrow classic bucket seats too restrictive.

High Lateral & Knee Support

The supportive side profile helps reduce driver movement during cornering, while the raised knee support helps maintain a stable and comfortable driving position.

Combined with the adjustable backrest, this creates a seat that works particularly well for fast-road driving, touring and historic rally-inspired vehicles.

Duralastic Support for Longer Journeys

Duralastic belts are incorporated into the seat structure to provide additional suspension and comfort.

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

Combined with fire-resistant foam, this helps provide the balance between firm support and comfort required for longer journeys and road rallies.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the Vic Elford as a seat frame kit allows you to have the upholstery completed by your preferred local trimmer or interior restoration specialist.

This gives you complete control over the finished appearance and allows the seats to be matched precisely to the rest of the vehicle interior.

This is particularly useful during a complete restoration where the seats, door cards and other interior components can all be upholstered by the same specialist.

Why Choose the Vic Elford Seats?

 Vic Elford Classic Rally Seat Frame Kits

The Retro Trim Vic Elford Seat Frame Kit combines the appearance of a classic European rally seat with greater adjustability and comfort for road-driven classic cars.

Inspired by the Scheel sports seats associated with Porsche 914, BMW, Lancia and Fiat models of the period, the Vic Elford uses a lightweight steel tube frame with high lateral and knee support to create a secure driving position.

Its adjustable backrest is particularly important for classic cars used regularly on the road, allowing the seating position to be tailored to the driver while retaining the appearance of a period sports seat.
