Any idea what manufacture these old sport seats are from?

These seats are installed in an early S that has been stored away and not driven for almost 15 years. The heavy grain vinyl and the textured velour fabrics are in good shape but are obviously vintage. The Diest harnesses appear to be of the same era too - FWIW. Got any ideas? Thanks, John

Scheel made some buckets that looked similar back in the day...used in factory race cars. I'm not saying yours are those, but may bear researching.

Got to the point where I had to know and removed one of em. They are 'Paddy Hopkirk Carrera' aftermarket sport seats. I think they were installed in the mid-to-late '80's. The brackets fit and work perfect in the 911, so this must have been a fitment option available from the manufacture. I like the fact that the bottom cushions tip forward to allow you to clean. They are in mint shape too
