Sea green
A green seat is a rare thing and this one is meant for a car that can carry it: British racing green, a Sixties sports car, a Mini in the right shade. Faux-suede centre with vinyl bolsters, and six photographs on the listing show the colour against black.
Still a homologated GT
Underneath the trim it is the standard GT: FIA 8855-1999, four or six point compatible, HANS friendly, no lateral head support. This listing suits any height where the plain GT is noted for under six feet.
Ordering
Green is the listing; the shell can be done in seven colours and your name can be embroidered on, both to order. FIA 8855-1999 with the date on the label. Six point belts for a HANS, four otherwise. It side mounts and comes as the seat alone, so side mounts and a frame are the other two lines on the order. Tell us the car.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and 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.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible and 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
