Help Identifying Recaro Seats

[IndyAlex]

Hello Pelicans,

Looking for some help to identify if these are period correct seats which I took out of my 77 911 S. I haven't been able to find much information on these. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. These will likely be posted for sale on here in the upcoming week.

Thanks!

Those look a lot like Recaro Trophy seats to me.

I believe they are front seats.

If you put them in the back of your car to transport, would they be considered backseats? Thoughts to ponder. 🤔

I'd say so! Thank you very much.

Haha!

Those are LSes with what looks like a C cushion. I’m not good at dating those, but the ‘Recaro’ logo on the backrest suggests they’re older, like mid 80s or a bit older.

These don't appear to have an adjustable thigh support (C cushion).

Did C cushions always have the adjustable thigh support? I know in the 80s they did, but I have no idea whether they did earlier. The bolsters are bigger on Cs than on Bs, and those look like C bolsters.
