Seen some of the coolest race seats at a VW show last year in a guys oval beetle racer. They were Kirkey Racing Seats and they looked like torture seats. They are welded from Aluminium, and look super uncomfortable....WRONG...they are the most supportive and comfy seats I have had the pleasure of plomping my fat ass into, and I do have a large ass (hey I'm not a woman, i'm a man, I don't give a ratsass how big my bottom is) and it was not a squeeze at all. Have a look here www.kirkeyracing.com/

i'm only a 'mini' sized chap at 5ft 2" so well suited to a mini haha :oP i'm after seats that look really 60's/70's racecar preferably in cream but the style is the main issue, i need something that looks like cobra classics but possibly has the recline option & they need to sui t harness's

you can use harnesses with cobra classics. The recline could be a problem i spose. If you are going to run harnesses why do you want reclining seats?

i'd like the recline option because its my daily driver & fixed seats can be harsh on a long drive, my mini is harsh anyway due to hard fast road spec suspension! so i'm trying to gain a middle ground i.e enough support for track days and the drag strip but comfort for longer drives as i do a few
i like sierra cosworth blk leather recaros as they are semi retro but to pricey
