Superlite GTA Classic Bucket Seats – Now On Display at GSM Performance
We’re excited to welcome a beautiful new addition to our retro seat display – the Superlite GTA Classic Bucket Seat. This is the first time we’ve added these stunning seats to our showroom, and they’re already drawing attention with their authentic vintage design and timeless aesthetic. Featuring a classic vinyl finish, silver eyelets, and a retro-style integrated headrest, the GTA Classic is a true homage to motorsport seats from the golden age of driving.
Now available for viewing and testing in-store, this seat brings a perfect balance of style, simplicity, and practicality. Whether you’re building a period-correct interior or just want something that looks as good as it feels, the GTA Classic is a seat that fits right in—especially in classic Minis, MK1 Escorts, and retro-inspired restomods.
About the Superlite GTA Classic Bucket Seat
The Superlite GTA Classic bucket seat has been designed to deliver vintage character with modern-day fit and finish. Upholstered in durable black vinyl with prominent silver eyelets and a rounded retro headrest, it looks like it was pulled straight from the 1970s or 80s—but underneath, it’s built for today’s driving comfort and compatibility.
Key Features:
- Classic bucket seat silhouette with supportive bolsters
- Trimmed in high-quality black vinyl
- Retro headrest design with signature silver eyelets
- Supplied with sliding runners pre-installed for convenience
- Compact shell perfect for classic car interiors
This seat is all about period-correct style with everyday usability, making it an excellent choice for classic builds where the seat must not only look the part but also work well with modern subframe solutions.
Slimline Design – Perfect for Smaller Cabins
One of the biggest advantages of the GTA Classic is its slim overall profile, which makes it suitable for a wide range of vehicles—including those with tight cockpit spaces. From retro roadsters to compact coupes, this seat offers enough support for spirited drives without taking up too much room.
If you’ve got a build that demands narrow fitment, or you’re working with offset transmission tunnels and door card clearance issues, the Superlite GTA’s dimensions make it an ideal solution. It’s also a great match for vehicles that had minimalistic seats from factory, giving you the style upgrade you want without fitment headaches.
Installation – What You Need to Know
The Superlite GTA Classic comes pre-fitted with sliding runners, which means half the installation job is already done for you. For securing it into your vehicle, the seat uses a 291mm wide bolt pattern, making it compatible with a variety of mounting solutions:
✅ Cobra vehicle-specific subframes – direct compatibility with no adapters needed
✅ Planted Technology subframes – feature multiple bolt patterns including 291mm for a secure fit
If your vehicle doesn’t have a Cobra or Planted frame available, don’t worry—there are other options. Brands like Sparco, OMP, and Corbeau offer universal and vehicle-specific frames using a 345mm bolt pattern. In these cases, you’ll simply need an adapter plate to convert the mounting width and ensure everything lines up correctly. Our team can guide you through the best fitment path for your specific car.
The Superlite Classic Seat Range
The Superlite seat range is dedicated to classic car enthusiasts who want to upgrade their interiors without losing the spirit of their vehicle’s original character. From minimalist buckets to deep dish race-inspired designs, every Superlite seat features vintage looks, straightforward installation options, and a focus on comfort, durability, and heritage styling.
Whether you’re building a period-correct Ford Escort rally car, a stripped-down MGB track toy, or a 1980s BMW restomod, we’ve got a Superlite seat to match your theme and vision.
Now In-Store and Ready to Test
We’re thrilled to now have a pair of Superlite GTA Classic bucket seats on display in our showroom. These seats are available to view, sit in, and compare side by side with other retro-inspired models from Cobra, Corbeau, and more.

We encourage you to bring your own measurements—or even photos of your interior—so our team can help you choose the perfect fit for your project.
