It's a Momo Corse seat (you can tell from the yellow label on the side) but I am not sure which model. My guess is that it is no longer available as I think that their range is pretty limited these days.

Hi frank - are your current chairs beyond refurbishment? might be a nice cost effective option and I am sure they will come up a treat (u have the sports seats correct?). Just a thought.....

Why not buy some Recaro PP's or SPG's and have them trimmed to your spec? Southbound Trimmers would be the people to talk to, I always liked the look of these:

You are right they could be refurbished (it's just the piping on the driver's bolster), but they are the comfort seats. I'd love something light weight, with more support and able to accommodate a harness...

That's the plan... but cost is a big issue! The seats alone are so expensive, plus I'd want them in full black leather and I'd have the backs painted guards... Just hoping a cheaper 2nd hand set will come up!

What are the differences between SPG & PP Recaros? I can see a little variation in shape, but other than that?

The SPG is a race seat, it is FIA approved, uses flame retardant fabrics, has higher side bolsters (making it harder to get in and out of) and is narrower than the PP. The PP is likely to be more comfortable and easier to live with if you use your car on the road but still a great seat for trackdays. There is a more expensive FIA approved version of the PP as well but probably not worth the extra money unless you are racing.
