GOT THIS SEAT OFF A MATE IN ITALY WHO THINKS IT MAY BE A VERY EARLY LATE 60'S RACING SEAT FOR THE ROAD. CAN'T FIND ANY MARKINGS ON IT BUT ITS NOT HOME MADE AND THE COVERING IS FACTORY ORIGINAL. THERE IS A BUILT IN BRAKE LIGHT WHICH DEFFO ISNT A LATWER ADDITION, ITS REFLECTOR IS PRESSED INTO THE METAL REAR. WIRING IS 60'S DUAL CORE ELECTRICAL WIRE, THE SEAT APPEARS TO BE STAMPED 09-69. THERE ISNT ENOUGH ROOM IN THE FRONT SPACE TO FIT THE AIRSCOOP AND THE FRAME WOULD NEED DRILLING TO ACCOMODATE THE FRONT ANCHOR POINTS SO ITS NOT AN EARLY SNETTERTON. SPECULATION IS THE SNETTERTON WAS BASED ON THIS SEAT, ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE HELLIT IS???
