A pair of Cobra Monaco 40th Edition seats with white stitching, FIA 8855-1999 homologated. Part number Monaco-40th-white-stitching-X2.

White stitching rather than black

The two 40th Edition pair listings differ on the stitch colour and nothing else. White shows the seam more, which is what people want when the stitching is meant to be seen, and it shows wear and dirt sooner than black does.

On a car being finished properly that is a fair trade. On a working car it is worth thinking about, and the black stitched pair is the same seat.

Why the pair

Cobra hand trim these to order in the UK. Both seats on one order are trimmed together, which is more reliable than matching a stitch colour across two orders months apart.

The seats

Fully steel plated with a solid back and base for intrusion protection, integral head pad and shoulder support, 11.4kg each. Base mounted or side mounted. Slots for a 4 or 6 point harness. Drivers under 6ft with a 32 to 36 inch waist.

Steel against GRP, if your class weighs the car

The Monaco is steel at 11.4kg a seat. The Nogaro shell is GRP at 7.9kg. That is 3.5kg per seat, or 7kg across a pair, which is worth knowing in sprint and hillclimb categories where the total vehicle weight is scrutineered.

But weight is the second question, not the first. The Nogaro carries no FIA homologation. If FIA certification is what your class requires, the Monaco 40th is the correct seat regardless of what it weighs, and the comparison does not arise.

FIA seats expire on a date tied to manufacture, so ask us for the date on current stock if you compete.

Seats only. Tell us the car for frames and mounts.

Cobra seat size guide

Cobra build their competition shells in two widths and their road, reclining and classic ranges in one. Get the width name right and the model choice mostly follows.

How Cobra size their seats

The composite competition shells (Sebring, Suzuka, Imola, Evolution) come as Standard, which we list for a 28 to 32 inch waist, and GT, for 32 to 36. Cobra list the same external dimensions for both, so the difference is in the fit through the hips and shoulders: go by the waist band, not the drawing. The steel-framed Monaco follows the same idea with a Standard, a 32 to 36 and a Monaco GT for 36 to 38.

The reclining Misano, Daytona, Le Mans and Stuttgart are one size each and take a 32 to 38 inch waist. The classic range (Clubman, Cub, Roadster, RS, Interlagos, the Classic itself) is one size and suits most drivers; the exceptions are noted in the table.

Over 6 ftThe Sebring and Nogaro shells are the tall ones, 910 to 935 mm high with the head support set for a long body. The Suzuka Standard, the Monaco and most of the classics suit drivers under 6 ft better.

Width is the widest point of the shell, usually across the shoulder wings on a bucket and across the bolsters on a recliner. Base width is what has to clear the tunnel and the door card.

Measure yourself first

Four numbers decide whether a seat fits. Take them in the clothes you drive in, and write them down before you compare models.

AWaistAround your natural waist, not your trouser size. Trouser sizes usually run an inch or two under the real figure, and the waist bands on our product pages use the real one.
BSeated hip widthSit on a hard chair with your feet flat and measure straight across the widest point of your hips with a rule or a straight edge, not a tape that follows the curve. This is the number that decides whether a fixed shell is tight.
CShouldersStraight across the back at the widest point. Fixed back seats hold you here, so a shell that is narrow at the shoulders is uncomfortable long before it is unsafe.
DHeight and torsoYour height, and if you are over 6 ft whether that is mostly leg or mostly body. A long body needs a taller shell with the head support set higher.

Before you order

  • Check the car, not only the driver. Transmission tunnels, door cards and B pillars are what stop a wide shell going in. Our seat mounting and fixing points guide covers what to measure.
  • Side mount and base mount shells are not interchangeable. Which one you need depends on the car and the subframe, so pick the brackets at the same time as the seat.
  • If you run a HANS or plan to, filter on HANS friendly. The shoulder openings are cut to clear the collar.
  • FIA seats carry an expiry date on the homologation label. Check what your championship accepts and how long the seat has left, particularly on discounted older stock.
Send us your measurementsWaist, seated hip width, height and the car. We have fitted a lot of Cobra seats and will tell you honestly if the one you have picked is going to be tight. Call 0115 989 3488 or email Sales@GSMPerformance.co.uk.

Waist bands and heights are our product data, checked 6 September 2026. Dimensions are Cobra’s own published figures as carried on our product pages.

Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us and we will give you the honest answer.

What does showroom stock mean?
It is physically on our Nottingham showroom floor right now, so you can come and sit in it before deciding. If you want us to hold it for a visit, call ahead and we will keep it on the floor for you.

What do I need to fit it to my car?
The car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.

How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike. We keep the ranges on display in the showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.

Availability

Cobra seats are handcrafted in the UK

Each seat is built to the specification you choose, which is why the wait is what it is: on average around 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the trim and options.

Cobra do not allow queue jumping. Orders are produced in the order they are received, so the earlier yours is placed the earlier it is built.

Made to your specification

Because each seat is made for your order rather than picked off a shelf, a made-to-specification seat cannot be cancelled once it is in production, and our special order terms apply.

Working to a date, or not sure which trim to pick? Ring us before you order. Getting the specification right at the start is far easier than changing it later.
