I have the salesman's Porsche Fact Book for 1988 along with the salesman's code book for 1988 models. I don't see any mention of an option for a passenger side mirror so the one in your photo is very interesting. Also, AC was standard for 924's including the SE's, there's no code for AC delete.
Should be no signature behind the shifter, has the wrong seats, wrong wheels, wrong decal placement, and the added on passenger mirror to name a few items.
The electric mirror adjuster you show on the other photo is indicative of an after sale mod, maybe dealership, maybe consumer. But no SE car came from Porsche with a right hand mirror into America. There was scuttlebutt about them not meeting DOT requirements on this and the word I heard at our dealership was that these circumvented that req. by stating they were to be used on track as a car used in the SCCA race series and got by with that lingo. I think a lot of cars in different markets got a dealer treatment to move them off the floor, but I am stating what I know from the experience I am associated with in our dealership and with the known document of advertising I have in my possession. Plus the Yellow and Blue Price guide book dated the summer of 1988 listing options and deletes on these models.

When did you make the escape ?
I get out of the valley and head to Marco as soon as the below zero b.s. starts. Otherwise it's a great area to raise family and we have a very ardent and enthusiastic local Porsche Club out of the Mpls./ St.Paul area. Very track oriented and full of social and track events to attend. Big club but very friendly and safety based in ethic.
As to the fabric, I cannot find the link, but if you do a bit of searching there is a company in Europe that remakes it. It isn't exact, but VERY close in color and pattern..... they do it for all the Jubilee cars and some of the more rare euro looks in cloth that came in these cars. VERY expensive stuff, but worth it if you want it authentic.

Interior would need seatback on drivers seat and rear seatback redone. 66K miles. Owner doesn't know it is an SE and I didn't tell him. I only wanted it if I could get seats redone. Material is rare. Found some but expensive. 240 Euro a meter. Car is in Myrtle Beach on eBay. Listed 4K buy now 5K no bids. Relisted 3950 start. Video of him driving it. Sounds like something noisy at idle. Maybe belt too tight? or loose? Anyone who wants an SE for track should check it out.

I worked for Heishman P-A in the 70's but left to work in industry. Didn't care for having to work on Saturdays. Heishman was a race-AX oriented dealership. My "mentor" was an accomplished SCCA racer and AX'r. He moved into the GM position in the late 80's. He found the car I now own at the original Manheim auction in 1990. He bought the car for AX use campaigning it up until 2002. I bought the car from him in 2006 with 80,000 miles.

If done well, I would value those [then excellent] M990 script seats around $1600, maybe $1800.

Would it be possible to source the script material and reuse the original vinyl/leatherette? That would probably save at least $1000.
If the rest of that car checks out, I would consider sourcing solid, used, leather or leatherette seats, front and rear, for ~$1000, until you find a nicer set of script seats or re-cover the ones you have.

I have one of those goofy cars as well . I love that thing. Something about the agile character puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Mine has passenger side mirror and was installed at the same time judging by the OE look. I am waiting my turn for a spot in line at a custom interior shop in my hood that is always overflowing with early 356, speedsters etc. I cant believe the guy is actually excited about redoing my interior. My car is in great shape and everything besides the light seat tops are great. I bought material from 924 werks.com.. great seller. communications were great. I didnt know how much material I bought untill i unrolled and found 14 ft by 4 ft. I cant wait to get the seats done. such a cool car.
