Avus Seats
For the classic motor sport - the
taller drivers' choice. The Avus seat
is named after the famous Avus racetrack
in Berlin, which used to be the fastest
in Europe since the late 1920's to
the mid 80's. Designed by GTS Classics,
this new classic sport seat comes
with a higher back, higher side support,
lowered seating position and option
for 5 and 6 point-harness installations.
It is the perfect choice for the taller
driver as it is designed to fit their
needs best. The Avus resembles the
rallye seats of the BMW's, Porsches,
Datsuns and Fords of the late 1960's
and early 70's. Similar to the Nurburgring
seats, the Avus is the perfect choice
for more side support for sport, race,
and rallies. With a sturdy steel tube
frame galvanized and powder coated,
duralastic belts and fire resistant
padding, it meets the latest requirements
for 5-6 point harnesses. The Avus
seat is nonadjustable in itself, so
please install to fit for tilt and
height. The Avus has the look of the
Nurburgring and the comfort and dimensions
like the Rallye to accommodate the
tall drivers who enjoy classic rallies
and vintage racing. Also available

TransAm Seats
The famous
race series that started in the 60’s
with all the favorite cars like Mustang,
Cougar, Corvette, Camaro, Porsche,
Challenger, Datsun, Charger, AMC,
Triumph and Jaguar, just to name a
few. Many of these cars had special-made
racing seats made in fiberglass or
alloy to give the drivers better grip
and support.
We have created a new seat that resembles
the racing seat of those days, with
high lateral support, high side to
the front, seat belt openings as required
by today’s sport rules and duralastic
belts for comfort on longer events
and drives.

Daytona Seats
Daytona
has always been legendary for its
races and track. We created the Daytona
seat for roadsters, hot rods and Cobras
as a perfect balance of old style
with the best side support anyone
could ever ask for. The fiberglass
shell is reinforced at the stress
points, with a removable seat cushion
for drivers who take their cars to
the track and want a direct feel of
the car.
The Daytona offers the driver a secure
hold and the support that is lacking
in old seats. This is the perfect
seat for all roadsters from the 30’s
to the 70’s with your choice
of classic applications to match your
car. Available in any configuration,
except for headrests or Trips device.

Hot Rod Seats
For today's
custom Hot Rods we offer our Zeppelin
seats.
Zeppelins were custom built in the
20's and 30's to the most comfortable
standards and the ultimate in saving
weight for their transcontinental
"flights".
As many Hot Rod builders are using
bomber seats, which look very cool
but lack any comfort, we have created
these seats to offer custom built
comfortable, lightweight seats. Minimal
in structure, these seats do not lack
any of the comfort our other seats
offer, but still look period correct.
The Zeppelin line seats come in all
applications to fit your car and custom
built, with duralastic belts for the
extra comfort you might lack and the
choice of headrests you never had.
Please contact us, so we can assist
you to find the right seat and application
for your project.

Coppa Seats
In Italian, coppa means
competition, racing, and rallies.
We created the Coppa seat to closely
resemble the seat that Zagato created
in the late 1950's which has since
been chosen for all outstanding Zagato
creations in Alfa Romeo's, Aston Martin's
and Lancia's.
It
is the perfect seat for classic Italian
and British sports cars from the 1950's
to the early 70's as well as for roadsters
and hot rods as an old style seat
with the side support one always wished
for.

Hockenheim Seats
The Hockenheim is the
famous race track in the heart of
Germany that has seen many victories
for BMW and other German classic sports
cars and sedans since the late 1940's.
We
named our seat Hockenheim in memory
of all BMW successes. The cars were
often equipped with Scheel seats and
we created the Hockenheim to resemble
the Scheel 300 featured in the BMW's
and the 914's of that time.
The
Hockenheim offers high lateral support,
high knee support, a new lap belt
opening as required by today's sport
rules and duralastic belts for additional
comfort on longer events and drives.
