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.

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.

Why Choose the Retro Trim Monte Carlo?

The Monte Carlo is designed for drivers who want more support than a conventional classic seat without moving to the uncompromising appearance and fixed driving position of a traditional racing bucket.

Its combination of adjustability, support and rear-seat accessibility makes it particularly suitable for classic 2+2 sports coupés.

Classic late-1960s and 1970s sports seat styling

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.

 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.

The more accommodating dimensions also make the Vic Elford an attractive option for taller or wider drivers who require additional space without giving up the supportive characteristics of a classic rally seat.
