Yes, if you’ve just found those in your attic you’re one lucky boy.

They look very real and original. Single locking bases and D shaped headrests so likely pre-73.

Wish that were my loft. Were they in a house you just bought left abandoned up there? They look to be in remarkable condition.

Regards
Mike

They don't look to be Porsche Factory-fitted (or supplied) sport seats Serhad - more likely aftermarket Recaro sport seats or ex-BMW.

It's difficult to tell from those pictures but the sliders look like later Recaro ones.

Porsche Recaro sport seats have testured black hinges.

Looking at the first picture again, maybe it's the flash that's making the side hinge appear like chrome ?
