• Ultimate Comfort: Beyond the lateral support, the integrated heating elements make these seats suitable for year-round driving in vintage touring cars.

• Solid Foundation: These seats include the necessary sliding rails, ensuring a straightforward mounting process to compatible vehicle brackets.

Condition & Quality Assurance

Technical Note: All power functions, including the bolster adjustments and heating elements, have been bench-tested to ensure they meet original performance standards.

• Structural Integrity: Frames are straight, and the foam density remains firm and supportive, providing the “like-new” Recaro feel.
