          Not Recaro seats I think, the shape and structure looks wrong. Recaros are usually wider and flatter than those.

            I was going to say HX. The center console looks like a premier console. The seats look like they would be fitted to an early spec japanese car. Toyota were using a seat that looked the same however it wasn't fixed back. I can't imagine a fixed back would be used in anything from the factory.

              I reckon someone just stitched a Recaro label onto some old Cobra buckets.

                Good point Phil though I'm hoping still for something less ho hum

                Just picked them up - the shells are fibreglass or plastic certainly not metal framed as sellers advice

                Will strip them tonight the big reveal

                    Here's a pic of one of the seats partially stripped the details, pressings etc look similar if not the same as rallye 11's . Also thought they were glass or similar when I collected them, but are very thin metal pressings.

                    even if they're not, they look cool and they'll form basis for an upholstery lesson

                    Don't think they're Cobras though

                          Does anyone have any Recaro rallyes for comparison?

                              Not anyone with first hand knowledge of Recaro rallyes?

                              I'll be fully stripping them this week so can take more pics.

                                The foam sure looks like recaro orange foam I have seen the inside of enough Sports seats to know that much
