The interior is black/grey.
I went to Porsche Day two weekends ago, and thought maybe someone would have a Porsche for sale, you never know. While there, mjy wife called me and said "Hey look, this looks like your old car. Oh, look, it's for sale". So we found the owner and he said he had just decided to part with the car to get something newer. He had not put any ads anywhere yet. I checked the car out and it looked really nice. No rust in the usual spots, straight gaps, original panels, minor respray, well done, no oil leak. Owner is a great guy, shared all the history he had, window sticker, upgrades, etc. Turns out we both went to Berklee College of Music in Boston. His price was fair and I gave him a deposit. Got PPI from Eurotech on Wednesday and it came clean with just a couple very minor things. Bought the car last weekend. It was very easy, and that's how I like it.

Maybe the photos make it look lighter, although it is definitely on the light grey side.

Great ending to a painful story! I know your pain first-hand from hitting the wall myself. Hopefully you enjoy this car just as much (on the track!) as the previous car!

Somehow I missed this thread over the past two months. Glad I got on board to see the good news. I track my 993 but never go out on track in the wet. I used to enjoy wet autocrosses a lot but the danger level is much lower. Hope this one stays with you the rest of your days!

I must jump in here and say a big "Congratulations"!! It must be such a great feeling to have that whole experience behind you, and to have a new car in the driveway...and very nice car at that...awesome!
