Came with the car. Fit the backpad decently, as can be seen. No markings on them I can find. I have both seats, but am replacing them with stock seats.

Solved the mystery. I pulled the passenger seat, and it had a label on the bottom, unlike the driver's side. Ironically, these are British seats (only two German cars but half-dozen Brit cars in my past). Skats Paddy Hopkirk Carrera Recliners. No idea if that outfit is still in business. Paddy Hopkirk is still alive, and still lending his name to various products. For those who've never heard of him, Paddy was a sports car and rally driver, active primarily in the 60s. He drove quite a few BMC cars to victory, including a famous win in a Mini in the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally. In any case, there's a clue if anyone wants to try to find a pair of aftermarket seats for the 914 that really do fit just about perfectly, and look "period" (probably ARE period).
I'm posting these in the Classifieds Section, so go there for more pics and my guess at a price. |
