Very nice early North American 930, sans mirror but with Sport Seats and A/C in one of the all time classic colors. Cool Plate!

I keep seeing a sunroof every time I look at these pics.

Love it in white too!!

Have you thought of using some of the newer interior leather products such as CeramicPro? I had my entire car done (glass, interior, calipers, rims, paint, plastic lens', etc). It made a big difference and has helped in showing mine in Concours. I highly recommend.

I get it. There is.

But post #2 by "Porsche930", ... and post #5 "pu911rsr" have both kinda implied there wasn't.

OP never claimed it was sunroof delete,... so not sure why other's weren't seeing it.

guess the chatter doesn't really matter to the OP "cool76_930",...

but I would like to see some moisturizer applied to the interior...

QUESTION to the OP: What is the device just below your ash tray?
... It looks suspiciously like the dictation machine that Ferdinand Porsche gave his daughter Louise Peich in August 1974 inside the very first narrow body 930 Turbo. It is located in a very similar location.

But I also see that your unit has the same letters on it, that also appear on your Blaupunkt radio, so maybe they are just quick buttons for the radio.

I was just in Stuttgart a month ago, and saw her car at the Museum. Took a bunch of pics & walk-around video specifically of that car. It has been a car I wanted to see in person for decades. It did not disappoint.

Here is a pic a took through the glass...



and another couple that give perspective on her car...

It's the external am/fm pre-sets for the blaupunkt bamberg unit installed in 3 litre turbos. The dictation microphone is attached to the preset unit with a caddy or holster. '77 turbos had these items mounted in the center console which was standard equipment that year.

ahh,... well if you are talking about treating your interior,.. then I will say that I am no expert.

But my opinion, after having the CeramicPro "Textile" product applied to my leather interior, I will say that I do not believe it is a restoration type product. I believe it to be a finish product to create a final surface that is hydrophobic. My interior was in very good condition before "textile" was applied.

So if you want to restore your interior leather, I would suggest you first start searching here on Rennlist for others with 930's, or older SC's that have been down the same road you are going. Search for the steps involved, and some recommended products to bring back the suppleness and color to your leather first. Then as a final step you can apply some hydrophobic product.

For my car, the CeramicPro "Textile" not only gave me a nice protective coating, but it also gave the leather a nice luster (not full glossy, but more glossy than satin), AND it now seems to HOLD that luster (for the 6 months it's been on there now)... verses me seemingly always needing to rub it down with a off-the-shelf leather conditioner.

Oh, also, CeramicPro products cannot be bought off the shelf. They only sell the services through certified installers. If you decide to go that route, you would need to hit their main website & search for a local detailer in your area that is certified in their products.
