Seat identification

I am trying to identify what these seats may be from, They are in a car I am looking at buying, The car is a mix of different eras from 70s/ 80s , They don't look like what I have seen, but the same material and pattern is on the little rear seats too so thinkinghing they may be original set?

Thanks in advance

Hello Shawn, they are not original porsche seats. they look like aftermarket Recaro's that were recovered. the dash looks like it may have had some custom work so the whole interior might have been redone at some point.

Thanks Jeff

Ya i didn't think they were original, just the fact that the back seats matched material exact made me think. The guy who modified the car must have done all the seats.

And yes the centre part of the dash is sadly modified with power windows, There was a large modification that was done probably done in the 90's where they wanted all the "new" stuff. Sad, but it is what it is. they added a wide body kit too

They appear to be a set of recovered Recaro LSCs if that lower seat portion is adjustable. Could be LSBs if its fixed.

Those are probably from the late 70s or early 80s, and are either labeled Idealsitz N if they’re older; Theyr’e an LS (with a ‘B’ cushion) if they’re from the mid to late 80s. If you see a BMW logo on the seat back recliner knob, they were OE in a BMW. They look like the older version to me.
