Scheel Seats

Gransin said:
Not only are they rarely for sale, when you finally find a pair they are often not matching (small differences between them) I've seen several "pairs" like this for sale, but I don't know why this is so common for scheel seats.

Sometimes they pop up on ebay.de, but I've never seen any of the more desired early 70's 400 series seats (sidebolsters thinner at the top, see pictures below) for sale in recent years, Gerrit helped me find a pair and I'm very thankful for that.

(These are not my seats, but same model)

I have always loved those, but I'm not 29 anymore (or 39, or 49...) My only thoughts are ingress/egress..If you are older, like me, you might also look at the Scheel 400. More of an aggressive Recaro look...a little more pedestrian, less track car. They will also fold forward to access the back seat, and recline to your preference. But that's what makes horse races...

I thought corticosteroid shots made horse races. They'd also make you feel like a 29 year old again and have you spryly springing out of those Scheels. Of course you'd run the risk of them wearing off while out driving. Then you'd have to live with the ignomy of being removed from your bucket seats by the local fire department. Tough call though as they are really cool seats.

If you haven't already, you could always send Gerrit an email, his email is on the first page of this thread.
If he can't help, you'll have to keep your eyes open on various for-sale sites around the world.

Here are a couple of pics of them installed in my coupe:
I love them, comfy and sporty.

a scheel tale

is unclear that this would go anywhere, but even considered as an "object d`art" the scheel seat is a marvel itself i remember a similar story with my Petri steering wheel back in Berlin, but then i had no coupe to rest it in, so a similar reflection was rattling my brain in the train that was...

i will probably not use them in my car anymore, so if the time and light is good they might leave the premises some day
 
Here are the Scheel 400 or 500 I had custom-made for my 2002 with the 1974 BMW OEM vinyl. What would I have to get for them to be used in my Coupe?
