The Type TN (SS63) is a plain vinyl recliner available in three colour combinations: black, black and grey, and black and red. No headrest, no suede insert. It is a clean seat without complications at a straightforward price. Steel frame, 345mm x 280mm bolt pattern, all heights and sizes, sliders in the box.
The black-and-grey and black-and-red options give it a two-tone look while staying in the same price bracket. Both are bolder than a plain black but less specific than a tartan or stitching colour, which makes the TN a reasonable fit for builds that want something other than plain black without committing to a branded colourway.
At £228.25 it sits between the entry fixed-backs and the mid-range recliners. The Classic II (SS 53Z) is almost identical in price but adds suede inserts and requires a driver-side or passenger-side selection. The TN avoids that consideration and is sold as a single neutral listing. If colour choice with no complications is the priority, the TN covers it. Fitting frame purchased separately. 4-point harness compatible. No FIA competition approval. Part number SS63.
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.
