No VIN published, so hard to check it's original background (I had a quick look on http://www.928registry.org/ ) as it has been fully repainted in a new colour.
Anybody aware here of a 1995 USA that was exported?

I see some Paul Champagne additions or maybe Rob Budd.

One has to wonder what the original mileage actually is on this car since it appears that the 7000 km suggested is likely just what has been put on it since they "restored" it. They say that in the restoration process they repaint only the cars with worn paint. Then they chose a really nice UPS Brown since that is the favored color of the elite, over there, I guess.
Maybe in Russia you can actually erase the miles.

Arnoud, €75.000 is way too much for that car. Here is a 1994 GTS for sale in Sweden for appr.
€ 17.500.

What's with the suede headliner in the '95?

I love the Brown! Even though it is a UPS-ish shade, it really is kinda cool. Put some great 18-19" wheels on it and it could rock with most GTS's I've seen. The design detail on the interior is excellent, although the execution is a little less so. From the design aspect, note the stitch pattern on the steering wheel as it merges to the horn buttons....very nice. The stitching around the shift area and up the console sides as it arches over to and including the leading edge of the dash and continuing down through the armrests is very flowing......just what it was originally designed to do: organically envelope you. The stitched upper edge of the door panel also merges well with the dash and a-pillar.
The two-tone effect of the Alcantara/leather on the upper rear b-pillar wing panels and blending with the Alcantara headliner, front a-pillar, rear deck panels and on the beading of the seats is an interesting touch; although I'm not sure the visible quality of the roof panels and rear visors approach the rest. It also appears that the speaker rings, the center shifter/clock surround and a few other trim pieces were either leather-covered or painted to match. The perforations on the steering wheel and seats are not the Porsche diamond pattern but look fairly good all the same.
The end-job fitment from this layman's eyes are that the seams puckering around the seats are indicitive of a reasonable cut, fit and installation job but certainly not extrordinary. In the end, I'd still love to have it in my 928 and hopefully will be real close when my new interior goes in this fall.

They even put caps on the lug nuts. There's something you don't see every day.

Indeed: I noticed the same after further looking carefully at all pictures. Weird, unless it is a MY 1992 or MY 1993.
Looks like that in craftmanship, would be nice to know from either Paul and Rob if they were involved with this.
Possibly, only way to be sure is to inspect inside the fenders.
Your guess is as good as mine, and this is what triggered my initial interest. As there are only about two or three USA MY 1995 that could possible have this low total milage/km's - including the elusive last one ever made...
I think that is Alcantara and not suede.
I agree that 75K EUR is way too much, only if this would turn out to be the last USA MY 1995 could it perhaps be wurth this kind of asking price. Then again: the last USA MY 1995 had IIRC lots of extra meters of leather + paint delivered with it, and anybody restoring it would have used that so to put it back to original specification (or maybe that is just me...).
Thanks for that MY 1994 GTS for sale: that reads real cheap especially if the total km's is correct - is that 13000-13499 km I read?
I'm personally like other interior colour's than this one, I agree with you that it seems rather well done though.
Yep.

I'm sure there are people in the world other than Rob and Paul who can customize a 928 interior... Actually, I think the sloppiness of the leather on the seats as well as the seams on the console and dash clearly indicate that this was done by someone different.

Also the puckering on the rear quarter looks awful.

Nice car but in the former eastern block of Europe, cranking back the miles is very easy very common. I like this car, don't see any issues with the leather work but I think the crest on the arm rest is upside down.
