 Yep... I believe my set came from her as well.

If you are really serious about getting vintage Recaros, the best place 
to look is ebay.de.   There are pages and pages of seats when you search 
on Recaro, and they rarely give the model for the older stuff.   My 
memory of the model names is not great, and they did change as the years 
went on.  It is a manual version of what is generally considered THE 
seat to have, the C Classic.  They are incredibly comfortable.  If you 
do get seats, note that the matching passenger side seat is the hard 
part.  Matching sets will sell for three or four times the price of just 
the driver's seat.   

There are a couple of sellers that rebuild seats, and often have the 
right adapters.  Here is an example:

I believe this is the seller that I got my adapters from.  His sister, 
lena-04 on ebay.de also specializes in Recaros and they will build to 
order.  Expect to pay $2k+ for a set of matching rebuilt C Classics 
delivered.  Most of the nice sets that I have seen come from her.   
Hmmm, look what I found:
