Last year before the six hours meeting we were sent a letter from the organisers which said exactly what Jon has described: whatever the period of the car it was either original seats or FIA, even though that is not what Appendix K says. I put an FIA seat in my 1953 Aston for the woodcote trophy race there on the basis that it would be frustrating to go all that way and fall foul of the scrutineers.

In the event the scrutineering was done by an Englishman who applied app K rules so I could have kept my period style seats..........
