The vinyl version of the Zandvoort. Part number SS48L, £175.50 single, black only. Weight is 7.38kg, the same as the fabric Zandvoort (SS01). Same steel shell, same deep seating position, same fixed-back design.
At £175.50, the Zandvoort Vinyl is £4 cheaper than the Zandvoort Fabric (SS01, £179.50) and gives up the colour options. The fabric version comes in black, blue, or red. The vinyl version is black only.
Vinyl cleans faster after a wet trackday and does not hold moisture in the way fabric does. If the car is used outdoors or does sprint events in variable weather, vinyl is the more practical trim. If colour choice matters or breathability is the priority, the fabric version is the one to order.
Sized for drivers under 6ft and 32 to 36 inch waist. Same limits as the Zandvoort Fabric. For 28 to 32 inch waist, the K5 (SS36, £175) or K12 Small (SS62SZ, £186.50) are the correct seats.
Base mount, sliders included. Road and Track approval. Works with a 4-point harness.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height 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 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.
