^ John - message replied to. Thanks.

Back to the original topic of this thread.... A couple months ago, I was able to verify that the blue of these Sparco's IS very close to the 993 Midnight Blue color; definitely close enough to work.... Thanks to CarreraX (the car in the pictures below is his beautifulC4S).

Would look most perfect in my white with blue interior TT. Nurburger does it move me up in line for purchase if I tell you I almost bought a set of your wheels?

I love the looks of my 93' 500E. It's not that much fun to drive. What year is the car? Milage?History? I do not know where you got your paint facts. I have been told that 80% of the 1505 500E'(90'-93') E500(94'-95') brought into the US are either black or gray. I did extensive research to try and verify the number of Signal Red(568) 500E's that were made and ran into brick walls every place I looked. Where did you get our info?

Hi Nurburger,

I see your thread from 2011 with your amazing seats. Both the 575M and Enzo types are awesome...
I am a 3200GT owner and I am seeking for the front seats of the Gransport MC Victory. For two reasons:
-they are incredible and much more suitable for a GT than the pullman original one I have in my car.
-I am 1m89 (6'2") and I swear to you those original seats make me feel like driving a Motorhome while embedding my head in the ceiling.

This MC Victory seats are actually made by Sparco on the same frame than the ones of the Enzo, but also the MC12 and the new GranTurismo MC Stradale.
By the way, this frame derive from the one of the 575M seats you have too...

Well, I wanted to ask you if you know how I could get these seats ?
I would try to contact Sparco, but I fear they have some right-reserved contracts with Ferrari/Maserati that restrains selling by their side...

Actually, I don't care if it's not the exact MC Victory Model. I would only get the carbon frame. Concerning the covering, I could then find someone to do a MC-Victory-like custom-made..

Kind regards,
Fives

Hard to believe almost 6 years have past since I started this thread.... Makes me miss my E500 Coupe!

I still have the 575m and Enzo seats & have not seen another set or single for sale, so I really don't know how you could find them. My friend who sold me these has since retired and moved to warmer climes, so I have no 'in' with Sparco any longer.

Hi Nurburger. Thank you for your reply !
Ok, I understand. Actually, I contacted Sparco last week, but I have not received an answer till now. It seems to be hard without a contact, you're right.
I keep you in touch as soon as I do some steps forward.
In any case, many thanks for your thread, it was very interesting.

Nice bucket seat. But it does not suit for a GT, only for race cars...

Somewhat in between really. Compare them to current GT2/3/4 LWB seats and you'll see they're not much different. The biggest difference is the lack of hinges for rear seat access.
