Appia seats

[roy parmenter]

Hi there – new member – just purchased a RHD 1961 Lancia Appia s3 which will look to the possibility of a mild rally conversion – to that end I am seeking information as to replacing the front bench seat with singles - but would like them to be in keeping with the car & age related. Can anyone advise if the Italians made any form of rally seat in this era & whether they might be available somewhere – if not a seat that might be in keeping. Not much on the internet for Appia’s in competition – the only mention I could locate was a 25th finish on the 1962 Acropolis Rally!

Was thinking of the little Fiat 600 based Abarth Zagatos:

Fulvia S1 seats are very comfortable and period looking.

THE question for me is if you want a headrest...
