I use two seats of the simca rallye..
how do you like them? I can get a pair that need retrimming, but they don't look too comfortable
mines are not retrimed and are conforatble for a ride

Maybe some of our UK friends can tell me about these? They are tagged "Paddy Hopkirk", but I can't find much info on them.
I'll make up some bases for them, change my door panels to black and run them for a while.

Well, eventhough I'm a Swede, an can fill you in on the Paddy Hopkirk tag. Famous rallye driver from "back-in-the-days". Irish born, perhaps most famous for winning the Monte Carlo Rallye in -64, in the famous 33 EJB registered Mini Cooper S. Starting the 2-year in a row of consecutive wins for Mini Coopers in Monte Carlo... they actually also "won" in 1966, but was disqualified for some issues with the headlights (!). Thats for the trivia. Yeah, I do have other cars apart from my Bug :-[... A 1968 Austin "Coooper S wannabe" sitting in a barn, rusting away... :'(
So, I guess these are some kind of rallye-seats for an english car...
cheers

Thanks 62 Ragtop. I found his history with racing Minis and such, so I figured something like that. I found very little about accessories bearing his name, however; other than nowadays it seems he has a line of bicycle carriers and such.

Hi,
I´m using VW Porsche 914 seats with cut-off headrest trimmed in fat biscuit style leatherette/fabric.
Bye,
Tobi
