Hundreds Of Products Ready Today. Dispatch/Collection Pair of Corbeau PSR Sports Recliners Transform Our Customer's Ford Escort Mk1
Why Upgrade to Sports Reclining Seats?
One of the biggest reasons owners replace the original seats in a Ford Escort Mk1 is to improve both comfort and driver support. Factory seats were designed for everyday driving several decades ago and simply don’t offer the same levels of lateral support as modern sports seats.
The Corbeau PSR provides much larger shoulder, side, and leg bolsters, helping keep the driver securely positioned through corners while remaining comfortable enough for longer journeys. Unlike a fixed back bucket seat, the reclining mechanism also allows you to adjust the backrest angle to suit your driving position, making it a much better choice for road cars and weekend classics.
Although the PSR can comfortably handle spirited driving and occasional casual track days, it’s designed primarily as a road seat. We recommend reclining seats and sliding runners for road builds only, as the moving mechanisms are not intended for heavy track day or competitive motorsport use.
Highlighting the Corbeau PSR
The Corbeau PSR is one of Corbeau’s most popular reclining sports seats because it combines the comfort needed for everyday driving with the sporty styling and support that performance car owners are looking for. It’s a great choice for drivers who want a noticeable upgrade over their factory seats without moving to a fixed back bucket seat.
Its design features large shoulder bolsters, supportive side cushions, and deep leg bolsters that help hold the driver securely in place through corners while remaining comfortable enough for longer road trips. The integrated headrest and flowing shape give the seat a modern, aggressive appearance that suits both classic and newer performance cars.
The seat is trimmed in high quality black fabric, providing excellent grip to help prevent the driver from sliding around during spirited driving. Around the shoulders and on the high-wear contact areas, Corbeau has added carbon fibre effect vinyl panels. These not only give the seat a more premium, motorsport-inspired appearance but also improve durability by protecting the areas that see the most wear when getting in and out of the car.
Underneath the trim is a strong steel tubular frame, giving the PSR its solid construction and long-term durability. The reclining mechanism allows you to fine tune your driving position for maximum comfort, making it much more practical for road use than a fixed back bucket seat. This makes it an excellent option for classic cars like the Ford Escort Mk1 that are regularly driven on the road, taken to car shows, or enjoyed on weekend drives.
The Corbeau PSR is supplied as a pair, allowing you to completely transform the front of your interior with matching seats that provide a modern look while still fitting comfortably inside vehicles with limited cockpit space.

Explore the Corbeau PSR Range
We’ll be linking our Corbeau PSR collection throughout this blog so you can explore the different options available. The Corbeau PSR is supplied as a pair, making it an excellent choice for customers looking to upgrade both front seats at the same time, and we also stock and display these seats at our showroom so you can view them in person before making your decision.
We currently have two versions available on our website. The first is the standard black trim model, perfect for drivers who want a clean, subtle look that suits almost any interior. We also offer a tartan trim upgrade, which combines the same supportive Corbeau PSR design with a classic tartan centre section. This option is particularly popular with owners of retro and classic cars who want to retain a period-inspired interior while benefiting from the comfort and support of a modern sports recliner.
Whether you prefer the understated black finish or the more traditional tartan design, both versions offer the same steel frame construction, reclining mechanism, supportive bolsters, and compact dimensions that made the PSR such a great fit for our customer’s Ford Escort Mk1.
Slim Design Perfect for Classic Cars
At just 540mm wide across the shoulders, the PSR is one of the slimmer reclining sports seats available. Its relatively compact dimensions make it suitable for a wide range of classic cars where larger recliners may simply be too bulky. The open design around the hip area also allows the seat to comfortably fit a variety of drivers while keeping the external dimensions as small as possible.
Main dimensions:
- Overall height: 880mm.
- Shoulder width: 540mm.
- Front base width: 500mm.
- Internal seat width: 350mm.
- Base cushion width: 290mm.
If you’re considering the Corbeau PSR for another classic car, we always recommend comparing these dimensions with your vehicle before ordering. Measuring the available space around the door cards, centre tunnel, and transmission tunnel will help ensure a straightforward installation, especially if you’re fitting a pair of seats.
