Nice moment to put in my contribution. In 2015 just before Marty McFly was coming back from the past in the movie "Back to the Future 2", there was this documentary producer (Bernd Kruyt, who wanted to make a documentary about the visual effecs in the movie BTTF2. He had interviewed John Bell (visual director) who explained in the interview how he was inspired by the interior of the 70's Porsche 928 when designing the BTTF2 taxi. The black and white blocked stripes so common on the yellow cab had to go into the future too. So he used the Pascha pattern, enlarged it and covered parts of the flying cab (basically a Citroen DS) with it, inside and out.
The guy who made the documentary was looking for a car with Pascha that he could use to make the point. He contacted the "Porsche Club 928 Nederland" and through the chaiman and others found his way to me and my car. We made an appointment at the warehouse where my car lives (an old Renault garage, about to be demolished) to make some recordings. To make the movie more interesting to look at, he wanted things to be moving a bit. So I got a chance to do my own stunts. I was asked to open and close the door and to get the lights up and down, operating from under the car because the electric motor was not attached and no battery available. So now there is a documentary in which my car is the star but regretably Universal Studios did not choose to bring it out in the box, which was the original plan.
And yes, the interior is the same (green/pascha) as the white car from the previous post.
