Italian Auto parts ‘Carrera’ seat.

I am looking to order two of these seats in either leather / hounds tooth or leather / corduroy to go into a 1969 911.

Does anyone have experience with these seats and their quality and finish?
Is the 4 weeks delivery likely?

Thanks
Sam

I have no experience with these seats, but I'll offer my unsolicited opinion on which to choose: Leather/houndstooth without a doubt! Those are pretty sweet looking.

You may also want to look at the Sebring that GTS Classics sells.

Received my Spa seats from them in perforated leather in less than 5 weeks. Very satisfied with the transaction. I would use them again.

These seem to be the same Bielstein-Torino seats available thru Germany or previously thru Stefan at GTS, before he set up US mfgrg facilities. I like the Bielstein 894 which was posted before by me. Seems both Stefan and now this Italian connection don't deal in the model 894..pity

Thanks - the Carrera seat looks like the pic below.
Although I love the Hound’s-tooth idea too I am worried that with a hound’s-tooth carpet the car may end up looking like a ‘Magic Eye’ puzzle. As such I went for the classic looking Leather and corduroy.
I’ll keep you all posted when they arrive as to my feedback..
Sam
