Dies anyone know if Ridgard designed seats are still being made following Bob’s passing last year. The Ridgard website is still up but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

Hi, saw a similar thread on PistonHeads that wasn’t able to confirm either (not much help sorry)

What were you thinking ? I’ve always had off the shelf seats and they’ve all been pretty good. But I’m also skinny so an easier shape to squeeze in a mass produced seat.

I liberated one that was on a Lancia I used to own and the Lancia was sold on without it. The Best seat ever in or out of a car. Really light weight too. I’ve used/ got Sparco and Tillets too and they are horrible in comparison. I wanted another to match my seat that’s all.

It’s not just the shape and skinny or not (I’m only 12 stone and 5 10) - they are hugging cosy comfy seats. I’ve sat at the start line of events with a aching back or cold (tillets) but you’d never get that with a Ridgard - positively invite you into the car they do.

I never met Bob Ridgard but I imagine I’d have liked him.

Shrew (big chief petrolhead of the forum) was selling a Lovely pair some time ago. I imagine he’s sold them but worth asking.
