"Being driven" - that is one way to put it. But dirt can be removed, unlike rivet holes in leather. (Noticed you edited your post with a similar remark, NoVector) But the car is still beautiful. If there are any more interior pics then or now I would be interested in seeing them to check out the upholstery.

Yeah, working on my karma I guess. I was thinking of Ferry's "Our cars were meant to be driven, not polished" line. I kinda wonder if the owner even knows what he has there.

Interior looks like it was originally a dark purple, almost like eggplant. Of course, years and years of armor all darken almost everything. Same happens to dark blue, ends up looking black after years of gunk build up. This is probably what it looks like under sunlight(I raised the shadows), hope somebody gets more pictures soon

Nice virtual restoration! Thanks for doing that. Also, thanks to Hacker, 928cs, Range Rover, ChuckZ etc for the other pics.

Seems like Rennlisters are mostly into the steel parts of the car, but some of us are students of interiors also. This is the first I've heard of (and might be the ONLY) airbag-equipped 928 with a full leather cockpit. Even @Schocki 's beautiful GTS interior does not have a leather pod or wheel. Tass has a Paul Champagne setup that looks just like this (except color) but it's a restoration. So for a historical perspective and for accurate reproduction of the OEM upholstery and trim it would be great to see a full interior gallery. The OC interior pics are low res but helpful; the FB ones are better but fewer. Does anyone have any further information or pics?

Lots of GTS’s came with full leather, but not in the US. Rennlist’s users are mostly in the US, so not many pictures of full leathers. Check out Instagram, I think it’s even better than FB for pictures. Lots and lots of cool 928GTS’s from Russia, China, and of course Germany.

I am a Luddite so that is easier said than done. I look at 6000 #porsche928gts pics and only saw 1 leather pod and no leather driver airbags. That one is cool - where did you find it?

The leather covered pod can be spotted by the XF2 equipment code.

313 GTSs have this code, of which only one US car, this very last customer 928 we are talking about. The leather driver airbag was certainly used for cars with wood steering wheel.

Nothing new on my side of the Atlantic, but I will try again to get in touch with the current owner.
