So… I grabbed a set of vintage Recaro LS seats on the weekend. They don’t have “gradation” fabric… of course. How lucky do you think I am? They are all black though, which is probably the next best thing. Condition is probably 7.5/10. Fabric and foam appear pretty good… but the headrests are somewhat FUBARed. They are bottom mount, which is going to make mouting them in the 86 a pain… but still… these are about exactly what I hoped to find, and I ended up paying only about 1/3 for them, as I would have paid for the alternative… albeit the NEW alternative.
Pics sometime.
The suprising thing is… I think these will look good with both the NARDI Classic and the ITAVOLANTI Formel. Such quandries are what make my car life so satisfying.
