A Recaro at the desk
The Classic LX is the Recaro road seat of the Seventies and Eighties, and this is the same seat on an office base with armrests. It is what people buy for a study or a workshop office when they want the seat from their car indoors, and two have gone from this page.
Trim
Black leather bolsters with a centre in houndstooth, corduroy or tartan, or all leather. The fourteen photographs show each cloth. Everything is made to order, so allow lead time.
The mechanism
Reclining, on the base mount office base. Armrests fitted.
Ordering
Tell us the cloth and we will confirm the build and the lead time before you commit.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: RECARO Classic LX Star Office Chair Now Available, and Recaro Classic LX and LS sport seats arrive for 2020. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
Send us your height and waist size and we will confirm the fit. The paper dimensions only tell half the story, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so you get the honest answer rather than a guess from a chart.
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.
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.
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.
