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.

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?

The Vic Elford provides an unusual combination of classic rally styling, strong driver support and an adjustable backrest.

It is particularly suited to owners who want the appearance and support of a classic sports seat but require greater flexibility and comfort than a conventional fixed-back design.

Key advantages include:

• Classic European rally-inspired styling
• Created in honour of Vic Elford
• Scheel 101-inspired appearance

• Handmade construction
• Lightweight steel tube frame
• Adjustable backrest

Classic Styling with Improved Support

The Le Mans has been developed to provide greater support than the original OEM seat while maintaining the simple, lightweight appearance appropriate for a classic car interior.

This makes it particularly suitable for owners who want improved support and driving comfort while retaining a classic interior.

This version of the Le Mans is specifically intended for cars using standard 3-point seatbelts.

The seat frames incorporate waist belt openings as part of their construction, but this version does not include the rosettes required for the 5-point harness configuration.

This makes it an ideal choice for road-focused classic cars where the original-style seatbelt arrangement is being retained.

Improved Porsche 914 Seating Position

The latest Le Mans design has been revised to provide a lower and less forward seating position.

This is particularly beneficial in the Porsche 914, where driver position and available cabin space are important considerations.

The revised design provides:

• Lower seating position
• Less forward driving position
• Improved driver support
• Better integration with the Porsche 914 interior
• Easier installation onto the OEM 914 slider bracket
• Classic appearance suitable for road-driven cars

Porsche 914 Bolt-In Upgrade

The Le Mans is particularly popular as an upgrade for the Porsche 914.

The redesigned frame makes installation onto the original Porsche 914 slider bracket considerably easier, allowing the factory-style seat adjustment arrangement to be retained while upgrading the seat itself.

For Porsche 914 owners looking for a lightweight seat with a more supportive profile, the Le Mans provides a practical alternative to an ageing original seat.

Lightweight Handmade Construction

Each Retro Trim Le Mans seat is handmade around a lightweight frame.

Fire-resistant foam is combined with Duralastic belts within the seat structure to provide a comfortable but supportive seating platform.

The Duralastic system helps support the occupant without relying on excessive amounts of foam, contributing to the lightweight construction while maintaining comfort for regular road use and longer journeys.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the Le Mans 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 makes it easier to match the seats to the rest of the vehicle's interior.

Having the upholstery completed locally also allows the seats and other interior components to be finished together as part of the same restoration project.

Why Choose the Retro Trim Le Mans?

• 1 x Seat frame
• 1 x Duralastic belt set
• 1 x Foam set
• 1 x Headrest – Standard Oval with piping type
• 1 x 5-Point seat belt rosette set

This version incorporates the required openings and rosettes for use with a 5-point harness system.

Classic Styling with Improved Support

The Le Mans combines the simple appearance of a classic sports seat with increased support compared with a conventional OEM seat.

Its shape helps hold the driver more securely during cornering, making it particularly suitable for spirited road driving, historic motorsport-inspired builds and vintage race applications.

The seat has been designed to retain a period-correct character rather than introducing the appearance of a modern racing bucket seat into a classic interior.

Designed for 5-Point Harnesses

The Le Mans frame incorporates dedicated waist belt openings and is supplied with rosettes for a 5-point harness arrangement.

This provides a cleaner, purpose-designed solution for classic cars being built with motorsport-style restraint systems.

Correct harness installation is essential. Harnesses must be installed using appropriate mounting points and in accordance with the requirements of the harness manufacturer and intended vehicle use.

Improved Porsche 914 Seating Position

The Le Mans has been redesigned to provide a lower and less forward seating position.

This is particularly beneficial in the Porsche 914, where seating position and available cabin space can have a significant effect on driver comfort.

The revised design can provide:

• Lower seating position
• Less forward seating position
• Improved driving position
• Better support than the original seat
• Easier integration with the Porsche 914 interior
• Improved installation with the OEM 914 slider bracket

Porsche 914 Bolt-In Upgrade

The Le Mans is particularly popular as a replacement and upgrade for the Porsche 914.

Its latest design has been developed to make installation onto the original 914 slider bracket considerably easier, allowing owners to retain the factory-style seat adjustment arrangement while upgrading the seat itself.

This makes it an attractive choice for Porsche 914 restorations, restomods and vintage race-inspired builds.

Lightweight Handmade Construction

Each Retro Trim LeMans seat is handmade around a lightweight frame.

Fire-resistant foam is combined with Duralastic belts within the seat structure, providing a supportive foundation while maintaining the comfort required for road use and longer journeys.

The Duralastic system helps create a seat that feels firm and supportive without relying on excessive amounts of heavy foam.

Key construction features include:

• Lightweight seat frame
• Handmade construction
• Fire-resistant foam
• Duralastic support belts
• Improved lateral support
• 5-point harness openings
• Harness rosettes included
• Revised seating position
• Period-inspired design

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the Le Mans as a seat frame kit allows you to choose exactly how the finished seats will look.

Rather than purchasing a fully trimmed seat, the frame kit can be supplied to your preferred local upholstery or interior restoration specialist.

Having the seats upholstered locally also makes it easier to coordinate the seats with door cards, carpets and other interior trim as part of a complete restoration.

Ideal for Classic & Vintage Race Cars

Although particularly well suited to the Porsche 914, the compact and lightweight Le Mans design has also been successfully installed in other classic vehicles.

Installation requirements will vary between vehicles, and custom mounting solutions may be necessary outside the Porsche 914 application.

Why Choose the Retro Trim LeMans?

The Le Mans is designed for owners who want a lightweight classic sports seat without losing the period character of their vehicle.

Compared with a standard factory seat, its more supportive profile can help hold the driver securely during enthusiastic driving, while the lower revised seating position is particularly beneficial in the Porsche 914.

The integrated 5-point harness provision also makes it well suited to vintage race and motorsport-inspired builds.

Le Mans Porsche 914 & Classic Racing Seat Frame Kits

The Retro Trim Le Mans Seat Frame Kit provides a lightweight, period-inspired seating solution for Porsche 914 owners looking for increased support, a lower driving position and provision for a 5-point harness.

Its redesigned frame makes installation with the original Porsche 914 slider bracket easier while positioning the driver lower and less forward than previous versions.

For Porsche 914 restorations, restomods and vintage race builds, the LeMans combines classic styling with practical improvements to driver positioning and support without introducing the appearance of a modern competition seat.

Supplying the LeMans as a frame kit also allows the upholstery to be tailored specifically to the vehicle, making it suitable for everything from period-style Porsche interiors to individual restomod specifications.

Supplied as a frame kit ready for upholstery, it allows you to choose your own materials and have the seats finished by your preferred local interior specialist.

Kit Includes

• 1 x Seat shell with side adjusters
• 1 x Suspension belt set
• 1 x Foam set
• 1 x Headrest – Standard Oval with piping type
• 1 x 5-Point seat belt rosette set

Carrera RS / RSR-Inspired Design

The lightweight sports seats fitted to the Carrera RS and competition-focused RSR became an important part of Porsche's motorsport-inspired interior design.

The original seats prioritised low weight and driver support, with period versions using Nylon/Perlon flame-retardant fabric as part of their lightweight construction.

The Retro Trim RennSport takes inspiration from these classic seats while introducing several changes aimed at improving support, comfort and everyday usability.

The seat has been developed with:

• A taller seat back
• Increased lateral support
• Duralastic seat support belts
• Side adjustment
• Redesigned seat hinges
• Waist belt openings incorporated into the frame
• Rosettes for 5-point harness openings

The result is an RS/RSR-inspired seat with additional support and practicality for classic Porsche road cars, restorations and restomods.

The seat frames also incorporate waist belt openings and are supplied with rosettes for 5-point harness applications, providing additional flexibility when building a more motorsport-focused interior.

Any seatbelt or harness installation should use the correct vehicle mounting points and be installed appropriately for the intended application.

Lightweight Construction

The RennSport is designed around the lightweight principles of the classic Porsche RS and RSR seats.

The lightweight frame reduces unnecessary seat mass while providing the structural foundation required for the foam, support system and upholstery.

This makes the RennSport particularly suited to lightweight Porsche builds where reducing vehicle weight is important without sacrificing everyday seating comfort.

Fire-Resistant Foam & Duralastic Support

Fire-resistant foam is combined with Duralastic belts within the seat structure.

Rather than relying entirely on thick foam for support, the Duralastic system helps support the occupant while allowing a degree of controlled movement.

This creates a seating position that feels supportive and firm without making the seat unnecessarily harsh for longer journeys.

Improved Side Support

Compared with the classic seat that inspired it, the RennSport has been developed with additional lateral support.

The increased side support helps hold the driver more securely in position during cornering, reducing the amount of movement across the seat during spirited driving.

This makes the seat particularly attractive for classic Porsche owners who enjoy fast-road driving but still require a seat suitable for regular road use.

Redesigned Hinges for Everyday Use

The seat hinges have been redesigned to improve durability and make the RennSport more suitable for regular use.

This is particularly important for road-driven classic cars where seats may need to provide comfort and practicality on longer journeys as well as support during more enthusiastic driving.

Have Your Seats Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the RennSport as a seat frame kit gives you complete freedom over the finished appearance.

The kit can be supplied directly to your preferred local upholsterer or restoration specialist, allowing the seats to be trimmed alongside the rest of the vehicle's interior.

You can choose:

• Leather
• Vinyl Fabric
• Perlon-inspired materials
• Period-style Porsche upholstery
• Bespoke restomod finishes
• Contrasting or matching stitching
• Materials matched to existing door cards and interior trim

This makes it possible to create anything from a period-inspired Carrera RS/RSR interior to a completely bespoke classic Porsche restomod.

Why Choose the RennSport Seat Frame Kit?

The RennSport is designed for drivers who want more than simply a reproduction of a classic seat.

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

Kit Includes

• Side and backrest foams
• Seat cushion foam
• Headrest – Standard Oval with piping type

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.

• Handmade construction
• Lightweight protected steel frame
• Sturdy square-section tubing

Group B Rally-Inspired Design

Group B produced some of the most extreme rally cars ever created, where lightweight construction, driver support and strength were essential.

The Dakar recreates the distinctive appearance of the competition seats associated with this era while incorporating features that make it suitable for classic rally, restomod and Clubsport projects.

Its name pays tribute to the legendary Dakar Rally, an event renowned for pushing both vehicles and drivers through exceptionally demanding conditions.

Lightweight Fibreglass Shell

The Dakar uses a lightweight fibreglass shell designed to combine rigidity with reduced weight.

Unlike conventional tubular-frame seats, the shell uses a structured layout that adds strength and stiffness in the areas where additional support is required.

This creates a solid and supportive seating platform suitable for performance-focused applications while retaining the distinctive appearance of a period rally seat.

Structured Shell Construction

One of the defining features of the Dakar is the shape and structure of its fibreglass shell.

The reinforced shell layout provides the strength and sturdiness required from a motorsport-inspired seat while maintaining a relatively lightweight construction.

This makes the Dakar particularly suited to:

• Classic rally builds
• Group B-inspired projects
• Clubsport cars
• Restomods
• Historic motorsport-inspired vehicles
• Performance road cars
• Off-road and rally-inspired projects

Low Seating Position

The Dakar has been designed to provide a lower seating position.

Sitting lower in the vehicle can provide additional headroom and is particularly useful for taller drivers or vehicles where helmet clearance is limited.

The lower position also helps create a more purposeful driving environment and can improve the driver's relationship with the steering wheel and controls when correctly installed.

Suitable for a Wider Range of Drivers

The Dakar has been designed to accommodate a broader range of driver sizes than many narrow traditional competition seats.

Its proportions combined with the lower seating position make it particularly attractive for taller drivers who may struggle with compact classic bucket seats.

Correct seat sizing should always be checked before installation, particularly when the vehicle will be used with a multi-point harness.

Duralastic Suspension for Added Comfort

Duralastic support belts are incorporated into the seat structure to provide additional cushion suspension.

Rather than relying entirely on thick foam padding, the Duralastic system provides controlled support beneath the occupant, helping reduce the harshness normally associated with a rigid fibreglass shell.

Combined with fire-resistant foam, this creates a firm and supportive driving position while adding useful comfort for longer road, rally or Clubsport events.

5 or 6-Point Harness Options

The Dakar can be specified with openings for 5 or 6-point harness systems, making it suitable for performance and motorsport-inspired installations.

The dedicated harness openings allow the shoulder, lap and lower harness straps to be routed through the seat as required by the chosen configuration.

Harness installation should always follow the harness manufacturer's instructions and use appropriate mounting points within the vehicle. 

Side-Mount Installation

The Dakar can be installed using side mounting brackets.

Side mounting provides additional flexibility when positioning the seat and allows adjustment of both height and tilt depending on the brackets and vehicle installation.

This can be particularly useful for achieving a lower driving position or adjusting the seat angle to suit individual driver preferences.

Have Your Seat Upholstered Locally

Purchasing the Dakar as a seat shell kit allows the upholstery to be completed by your preferred local trimmer or interior restoration specialist.

This provides complete freedom over the finished appearance and allows the seat to be coordinated with the rest of the vehicle.

This makes the Dakar equally suitable for a faithful period-inspired rally build or a completely individual restomod interior.

Why Choose the Dakar Seat?

The Dakar is designed for drivers looking for a classic competition-style seat with a distinctive Group B-inspired appearance, strong fibreglass construction and a low driving position.

Its structured shell provides rigidity and support, while the Duralastic suspension system adds an additional level of comfort compared with a conventional rigid competition seat.

The ability to specify 5 or 6-point harness openings and use side mounts for height and tilt adjustment makes the Dakar particularly versatile for performance-focused classic cars.

Dakar Group B Style Rally Seat Shell Kits

The Retro Trim Dakar Seat Shell Kit provides a distinctive seating solution for classic rally, Group B-inspired, Clubsport and performance restomod projects.

Its lightweight structured fibreglass shell provides the rigidity and lateral support expected from a competition-inspired seat, while the lowered seating position helps accommodate taller drivers and provides additional headroom.

Duralastic cushion suspension adds comfort to the rigid shell design, making the Dakar suitable for vehicles that may be driven for longer periods as well as performance-focused applications.

With options for 5 or 6-point harness openings and side mounting for additional height and tilt adjustment, the Dakar can be configured around the driver and intended vehicle use.
