As some of you here know, I recently bought a 1970 914-6. It came with different seats than the ones I've always seen in 914s, could any of you tell me if these seats that I show you in the photo were optional from Porsche or were they a RECARO option for these cars?

Please ignore the upholstery, obviously someone modified it to their very particular taste.

Thanks in advance!

My opinion, those were never available from Porsche. They look like a very nice custom made seat and putting my neck out, I’m guessing they were made in the last 5-10 years.
Remember, 914-6 seats were just like the early 4 seats. Fixed passenger and early back pad. It’s easy to modify the car to take later adjustable passenger seats. I did that to mine in the mid 80’s.

It would be helpful if you took shots of the bottom, back and base with the cushion removed. Curious to see if these are modified 914 shells or Scheel or Recaro seats.
