Two Auto Style Type AK seats in black vinyl with yellow stitching (SS 74LY-X2), £470 the pair. Yellow stitching is one of three options on the single AK (SS 74) and the warmest in tone. It pairs well with yellow brake calipers, yellow bodywork accents, or an exterior that uses yellow as a highlight colour. If the car already has yellow details, this is the most cohesive option in the AK range.
Reclining, 405mm x 280mm bolt pattern, steel frame, no headrest, all heights and sizes. Sliders for both seats in the box. Ordering both from the same pair listing confirms consistent stitching colour across driver and passenger sides. Stitching intensity can differ slightly between separate single orders from different batches; the pair guarantees the match. Fitting frames purchased additionally, one per seat.
4-point harness compatible. No FIA competition approval. At £235 each, two singles cost the same as this pair. The yellow stitching version is the same price as silver and red stitching alternatives if a different stitching colour suits the build better.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Discover the Auto Style Type AK Reclining Sports Seat, and Auto Style Type Classic Bucket Seats Now Available to View In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker lists no driver size restriction on this seat, so it suits the full range of heights and waists. 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.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
You need the car-specific frame for your vehicle, plus a sliding runner for fore-and-aft adjustment. Tell us your car and we will quote the complete fitting kit in one go. Our sliding runner guide covers the adjustment side.
Does it recline like a normal seat, and what about armrests?
Yes, the backrest reclines, which is the whole point of a sport recliner over a fixed bucket: support in the corners, comfort on the motorway, and access to rear seats. Armrests: not fitted on this model. Our recliner lineup comparison shows how the ranges stack up.
I am a bigger driver. Will it work for me?
Possibly, and it depends on the exact shell rather than the brand. We wrote a straight-talking guide on sport recliners for larger drivers from real showroom fittings, and if you send us your waist and height we will tell you honestly which recliners work at your size.
