The latest design provides a lower, less forward seating
position and has been developed for easier installation with the original
Porsche 914 seat slider bracket.
This version is intended for cars retaining standard 3-point seatbelts. Although the seat frame incorporates waist belt openings, it is not supplied with the rosettes used for 5-point harness installations.

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.
Its supportive profile helps hold the driver more securely during cornering without introducing the appearance or restrictive shape of a modern competition bucket seat.
This makes it particularly suitable for owners who want improved support and driving comfort while retaining a classic interior.
Designed for Standard 3-Point Seatbelts
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?
The Le Mans is designed for classic car owners who want improved support and a lower driving position without losing the character of a period-style interior.

Inspired by the lightweight competition seats used in Porsche's Carrera RS and RSR models, the RennSport develops the original concept with a taller backrest, increased lateral support, Duralastic seat support and redesigned hinges to make it more practical for everyday road use and longer journeys.
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.
It retains the lightweight, motorsport-inspired character of the original RS/RSR seating concept while adding greater lateral support, improved comfort and increased practicality.
Key advantages include:
- Classic Carrera RS/RSR-inspired appearance

- Taller backrest
- Increased lateral support
- 5-point harness openings incorporated into the frame
- Harness rosettes included
- Fire-resistant foam

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

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.
