The Cobra Monaco Sport Narrow in vinyl, cut for a 28 to 32 inch waist. Part number Cob-Mon-Sport-v.

Narrow and wipe clean

Two specifications in one seat, and they tend to be wanted together. The narrow shell suits smaller drivers and tight cabins, and vinyl suits vehicles that get used in weather or workwear: it wipes down, it does not hold damp and it does not absorb what gets spilled on it.

Classic Minis, small off road vehicles and working vans are where this combination usually ends up, and in all three the standard shell is often simply too wide for the space available.

Sizing

28 to 32 inch waist. Take a tape measure to yourself rather than using a trouser size, and measure the car as well, from the door card to the centre console at hip height. Both numbers matter and we would rather have them before you order.

The rest of it

Road and Track approved rather than FIA homologated. Steel frame, fixed back, integral head pad and shoulder support. Base mounted or side mounted. Slots for a 4 or 6 point harness. 11.4kg, which is the honest cost of the steel plating.

Warmer to sit on than the spacer fabric version in summer, which is the one real cost of the vinyl.

Seat only. Tell us the vehicle for frames and mounts.

Cobra seat size guide

Cobra build their competition shells in two widths and their road, reclining and classic ranges in one. Get the width name right and the model choice mostly follows.

How Cobra size their seats

The composite competition shells (Sebring, Suzuka, Imola, Evolution) come as Standard, which we list for a 28 to 32 inch waist, and GT, for 32 to 36. Cobra list the same external dimensions for both, so the difference is in the fit through the hips and shoulders: go by the waist band, not the drawing. The steel-framed Monaco follows the same idea with a Standard, a 32 to 36 and a Monaco GT for 36 to 38.

The reclining Misano, Daytona, Le Mans and Stuttgart are one size each and take a 32 to 38 inch waist. The classic range (Clubman, Cub, Roadster, RS, Interlagos, the Classic itself) is one size and suits most drivers; the exceptions are noted in the table.

Over 6 ftThe Sebring and Nogaro shells are the tall ones, 910 to 935 mm high with the head support set for a long body. The Suzuka Standard, the Monaco and most of the classics suit drivers under 6 ft better.

Width is the widest point of the shell, usually across the shoulder wings on a bucket and across the bolsters on a recliner. Base width is what has to clear the tunnel and the door card.

Measure yourself first

Four numbers decide whether a seat fits. Take them in the clothes you drive in, and write them down before you compare models.

AWaistAround your natural waist, not your trouser size. Trouser sizes usually run an inch or two under the real figure, and the waist bands on our product pages use the real one.

BSeated hip widthSit on a hard chair with your feet flat and measure straight across the widest point of your hips with a rule or a straight edge, not a tape that follows the curve. This is the number that decides whether a fixed shell is tight.

CShouldersStraight across the back at the widest point. Fixed back seats hold you here, so a shell that is narrow at the shoulders is uncomfortable long before it is unsafe.

DHeight and torsoYour height, and if you are over 6 ft whether that is mostly leg or mostly body. A long body needs a taller shell with the head support set higher.

Before you order

Check the car, not only the driver. Transmission tunnels, door cards and B pillars are what stop a wide shell going in. Our seat mounting and fixing points guide covers what to measure.
Side mount and base mount shells are not interchangeable. Which one you need depends on the car and the subframe, so pick the brackets at the same time as the seat.
If you run a HANS or plan to, filter on HANS friendly. The shoulder openings are cut to clear the collar.
FIA seats carry an expiry date on the homologation label. Check what your championship accepts and how long the seat has left, particularly on discounted older stock.

Send us your measurementsWaist, seated hip width, height and the car. We have fitted a lot of Cobra seats and will tell you honestly if the one you have picked is going to be tight. Call 0115 989 3488 or email Sales@GSMPerformance.co.uk.

Waist bands and heights are our product data, checked 6 September 2026. Dimensions are Cobra’s own published figures as carried on our product pages.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Customer Question: Fitting Our MX-5 Side Mounts To A Cobra Monaco Pro, and Cobra Monaco 40th Edition Bucket Seats with Custom Tartan Trim. 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 28in to 32in 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 seat takes both base and side mounting, so the fitting stack depends on which route you pick for your car. 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 and 6 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.

Availability

Cobra seats are handcrafted in the UK

Each seat is built to the specification you choose, which is why the wait is what it is: on average around 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the trim and options.

Cobra do not allow queue jumping. Orders are produced in the order they are received, so the earlier yours is placed the earlier it is built.

Made to your specification

Because each seat is made for your order rather than picked off a shelf, a made-to-specification seat cannot be cancelled once it is in production, and our special order terms apply.

Working to a date, or not sure which trim to pick? Ring us before you order. Getting the specification right at the start is far easier than changing it later.

In-store displays:

We have a premium range of over 125 seats from brands including: Bimarco, Cobra, Corbeau, Sparco, OMP, Recaro, GP-Race, and Bride to name just a few brands we work with.

Alongside this, we also stock and display HANS devices, harnesses, race-wear, race-suits, FIA helmets and various other safety equipment. If you are looking to visit us to see and try any particular seat or product, please contact us in advance and we’ll be happy to help.

In-Store appointments:

Due to the specialist nature of our services, we do ask that you please contact us in advance to book an appointment. We have multiple slots available each day including selected availability at the weekend.
