A pair of Cobra Clubman 3D bucket seats. Part number Clubman-3D-X2.
3D SpaceTech is a material, not a pattern
SpaceTech is a structured spacer fabric. It manages heat and moisture better than plain vinyl on a longer stint, and it holds its shape under lateral loads rather than compressing and letting you move.
So this is a genuine functional difference from a vinyl Clubman, not just a look. On a car used on track or in summer it is the version to take.
The shell underneath is the standard Clubman: 850mm tall, 515mm wide, 630mm deep on a 500mm base, 9.2kg each, steel frame, fixed back, sized for drivers under 6ft.
Why a pair
Cobra hand trim these to order in the UK, so two seats on one order are trimmed together. On a textured finish like this that matters more than on a plain one, because a mismatch is more visible.
The Clubman case
It is the entry point to the Cobra range and the lightest steel framed seat they make at 9.2kg, against 11.4kg for the Monaco and 13.4kg for the Le Mans.
Road and Track approved rather than FIA homologated, so fast road, shows and track days rather than a scrutineered class. If your class requires FIA 8855-1999, the Monaco range carries it and starts not far above this.
Base mount. Seats only. Tell us the car and we will match frames for both sides.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Cobra Clubman 40th Edition Bucket Seats Arrive For Customer, and Cobra Clubman Bucket Seats Back In Stock. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height. 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 kind of car suits this seat?
Classic and retro vehicles, which is exactly what this shell is designed around. The low-back retro style belongs in a period build, not a modern car, however tempting the weight figure looks. If you are kitting out a modern road or track car, we will point you at the right modern shell instead.
Is this seat FIA approved?
No, this is a road and track day seat rather than a homologated competition seat. For events that require an FIA seat, look at the FIA-approved shells in the range, and ask us if you are unsure what your series needs.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a base-mount seat: it bolts down through its base, the simpler stack for road cars. 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. 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.
