Handmade using a lightweight glass fibre shell, the ST combines authentic period styling with a slightly taller and wider design for improved comfort and accommodation of taller drivers.

This version is designed for cars retaining standard 3-point seatbelts.

Classic Porsche ST-Inspired Design

The ST-style bucket seat was used in early Porsche 911s and other competition cars of the period, including Ford applications.

Retro Trim has retained the distinctive shape and support of the original ST design while introducing subtle changes to make the seat more practical for today's classic Porsche driver.

The shell is slightly taller and wider than the original, providing additional space without losing its period appearance.

Lightweight Glass Fibre Shell

The ST uses a lightweight glass fibre shell with a laminated-in reinforcement grid around the mounting areas.

This provides additional support at the seat mounting points while maintaining the lightweight construction associated with classic competition seats.

Duralastic suspension belts work with the fire-resistant foam to provide a firm but comfortable seating position suitable for road, rally and historic motorsport use.

Designed for a 5-Point Harness

This version incorporates openings to correctly route the waist/lap belts of a 5-point harness and is supplied with rosettes for these openings.

The seat design also provides guidance for the harness belts while maintaining the appearance and supportive profile of the original ST seat.

Harness installation must use suitable vehicle mounting points and follow the harness manufacturer's instructions and any applicable motorsport regulations.

Lower Seating Options for Taller Drivers

The redesigned ST is slightly taller and wider than the original to accommodate a broader range of drivers.

For particularly tall drivers, the seat can also be customised with a lower seating position, providing additional headroom while retaining the appearance of a traditional ST-style bucket seat.

Original-Style Recaro Mounting Pattern

The seat incorporates both the Retro Trim mounting pattern and an original-style Recaro mounting pattern.

This allows the ST to be used with suitable original or original-style sliders and brackets, making it easier to incorporate into period-correct classic car installations.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the ST as a seat shell kit allows your preferred local upholsterer or interior restoration specialist to complete the finished seats.

This gives you the freedom to select leather, leatherette, vinyl, fabric or period-style materials to match the existing interior or create a bespoke classic Porsche specification.

Kit Includes

• Seat shell/frame
• Duralastic suspension belts
• Side foam
• Back foam
• Seat cushion

Handmade around a welded lightweight steel tube frame, the TransAm combines high lateral support, a low seating position and Duralastic suspension to create a classic competition-style seat suitable for restoration, restomod and historic motorsport-inspired cars.

This version is designed for cars retaining standard 3-point seatbelts.

Inspired by Classic Trans-Am Racing

The Trans-Am race series brought together some of the most recognisable performance cars of the period, including Mustang, Cougar, Corvette, Camaro, Porsche, Challenger, Datsun, Charger, AMC, Triumph and Jaguar.

Many competition cars used lightweight fibreglass, alloy or specially fabricated racing seats to provide drivers with greater support during demanding race conditions.

The Retro Trim TransAm recreates this purposeful appearance while providing a seat suitable for today's classic car enthusiast.

High Lateral Support

The TransAm features raised side bolsters extending towards the front of the seat to provide increased lateral support.

This helps hold the driver more securely during enthusiastic driving while maintaining the distinctive appearance of a traditional 1960s and 1970s competition seat.

Fire-resistant foam and Duralastic suspension belts provide a firm but comfortable seating position, helping make the TransAm suitable for longer road journeys as well as historic motorsport-inspired applications.

Low Seating Position

The TransAm seat itself is non-adjustable and is designed to position the driver as low as practical within the vehicle.

Final seat height and angle are determined during installation, allowing the mounting arrangement to be selected to suit the driver and vehicle.

An optional tilting bracket is available where improved access to rear seating is required.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Supplying the TransAm as a seat frame kit allows the upholstery to be completed by your preferred local trimmer or interior restoration specialist.
