Recaro Pro Racer SPA _ signed by Marcus Gronholm

Testing the water on selling my seat again guys.

These are over £1800 new and this one has been personally signed by Marcus Gronholm 2x WRC world champion. Seat is in excellent condition (near perfect, no rips tears marks) as you would expect and weighs little more than 6.5kg!!

Im looking for offers over £600.

Seat is for sale on the condition i can find the replacements i want.

it is in a bugeye sti at the moment mate. I made bespoke rails to fit it. if the buyller chooses to buy the rails too. This will drop straight in bolt for bolt with full adjustment.

The seat is provisionally sold, awaiting payment and collection. :-)

Because the price says offers OVER £600. So from that you can work out what offer I have accepted.

Kind regards

Just the one I'm afraid mate. If I could afford a pair then I would probably have kept them. I love it, it the best driving seat out there by a mile.

As said though, I have already made a deal and am awaiting the buyer to collect. So I have to honour the original deal first.

Seating plans are now in the form of some Prodrive/Sparcos. Nowhere near as hardcore or as supportive as the Recaro but more usable day to day and the Prodrive runs with the Prodrive/tarmac WRC theme of the car.

Lol, the Recaro was dangerous on a long journey. It was too comfy and with the head support you could easlily fall asleep in it lol.
