Default is this the rarest option ever

Hi all
after many years studing, driving, loving, talking, starring the beloved 993
I got across an option I never ever seen
even rarer than the rare X51.

Who have or ever had or seen the
M373/374 harmrest?

just to increase my and maybe your knowledge

Hmmm in Adrian's book M373/374 are Sports Seats Left and Right, sure that's not aftermarket?

Bird armrest.

Mine is a factory option. Retrofit kit added in 2003.

About $600.00 at the time with parts and pieces and attaching hardware. Classic Gray in leather.

The last time I heard about this kit it was still available and $3,000+.

Nice, Mike.

In case this helps anyone else: found 1 business that shows them in stock.
If anyone knows where else to get them, post here for others' benefit.

Currently ~$1,250 for each seat through worldImpex.com.

I can't imagine living in a reality that would allow me to spend $1,250 on an armrest.

Not $1250, $1250 x 2 = $2500. Plus odds and ends the kit doesn't give you. About $3000. Cheap.....

Price does not matter…if you need an armrest while driving a 993 just get a Camry.

Currently ~$1,250 for each seat through
Or you could get them off of any Land Rover Discovery. They're almost the same.
