These head rests are part of a set of salvaged seats from an early model variant of the Opel Manta A series. This style of seat has a much more sporty appearance than those found on the later cars. The vinyl has small ventilation holes in the centre sections and the leatherette has a very delicate grain pattern. The overall look is much more in the minimalist 60s muscle car theme, rather than the 70s saloon comfort theme.
Factory OEM head rests were one of the many options available for the Opel Manta A series and similar models from the same era, although they wee rarely specified and are quite rare. All the seats could be fitted with head rests, the factory manual even gives the precise measurements to cut the seat in order to retro fit them.
These seat head rests may not be the original GM items (I recall the ones I had being a little thinner) however they are a very close match and will fit the original seats. They certainly look good, add a little comfort and protect against whiplash in the unfortunate case of an accident.
They are likely to be suitable for the following applications:
They are both in good condition with some very slight wear marks here and there. They would be an excellent upgrade to a daily driven vehicle, or even to a show car with a little more time spent valeting them.
The head rests are available for £25, UK delivery (excluding remote Highlands & Islands) is included. Europe and the rest of the World are possible, but might be expensive due to size and weight when packed. So please ask for a quote first as this could be quite expensive to do.
Obsolete GM spares are not exactly plentiful in the UK, this is the very last of my stock and I will not be replacing them, so don't hang about if this is what you need for your classic Opel.
