Speedster Seats

[Edwin Ek]

On German eBay there is a seller, erlkoenig-classic, selling new Speedster shells with inner and outer darts. Description says Original Bodywork Reutter, whatever that means. Price is 1,090 €.

Dave fabricated his own simple tool to make the darts. Just tell him what you want, he can do it.

erlkoenig-classic is Reutter or what's left of it. They are the ones that provide the alternative build sheets, complete with interior colors, etc.

This was their display at Retro Classic.

Adam, thanks for that info.! Ziemlich interessant.

This must be what Michael Foster is referring to.

Wednesday I advertised my seat dart installer. We sold it the following morning. Restoration design was the purchaser. With a little luck it will be in their shop early next week. If you need to have your seats darts installed they will be able to do that. They also have a gauge to correctly position the darts from the edge of the seat and and notes that I have taken from original seats. (Advertisement deleted by moderator)

I just received the factory Reutter build sheet from Erlkonig for my '54 Coupe. Total information including the key #s. Lovely presentation with interior fabrics and colors. Mine is a Black body over Green seats, Green headliner and carpets. Here is the surprise, the dash and garnish rails are Maroon. ........Jim.

Al, unrelated, but I love the new floor pans Torsten has made and you sell. Good to finally see a real authentic offering out there. Same for the battery box floor which we used.
