The Cobra GT3 Historic, a fixed back bucket seat on a steel frame. Part number COB-GT3-RS.
Four point harness only
The most important thing on this page. The harness slots take a 4 point belt and there is no 6 point routing. If your class requires six points, this is not the seat, and no amount of period looks changes that.
For historic and classic racing where four points are accepted, or for a fast road car, it is not a limitation you will notice.
Built for period appearance
Made for classic and historic racing where how the car looks is part of the specification rather than an afterthought. Black vinyl throughout, integrated headrest, and a choice of anthracite or silver eyelets at checkout.
Road and Track approved. There is no FIA homologation, so check what your class actually requires before ordering.
Before you order
Base mount. Hand trimmed in the UK, so tell us your eyelet choice at checkout and we will confirm it before the seat is built.
Seat only. Tell us the car and we will match a frame; Cobra frames include the sliding runner in the price.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Question: Fitting Cobra GT3 Historic Seats To A 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750, and Cobra GT3 Historic Bucket Seats Now Available to View In Store. Some of that comes straight from real customer questions, so you are reading answers other buyers actually needed.
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.
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.
