The Cobra Classic GT with side slots, a low backed period bucket on a steel frame. Part number COBCLAGT-SS.
This is the version with the harness slots
This version has side grommet openings beside the lap area for the lap belts. They are not shoulder-belt slots. The plain Classic GT is listed separately, so check the version you select.
Choose the slot configuration when ordering and confirm the complete harness routing and vehicle anchorage. Ask us before considering changes to an existing seat.
The low back
Built for traditional sports and classic cars, with increased legroom over the standard Classic, at 6.7kg.
The low back is deliberate. In an open car or one with a low screen line, a tall shell sits proud and looks wrong, and the GT is cut to avoid that while still supporting you properly.
Specification
Road and Track approved rather than FIA homologated. Steel frame, fixed back, base mounted only.
Hand trimmed in the UK, so the colour and material options are wide. Give us your choice at checkout.
Seat only. Tell us the car and we will match a frame; Cobra include the sliding runner.
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 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?
This is the side-slot version, with openings beside the lap area for the lap belts. The complete harness routing and anchorage must suit the seat and vehicle. Tell us your planned setup before ordering; these openings alone do not establish HANS compatibility.
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.
