To be honest, I don't have a complete understanding of the difference between partial leather and full leather,as it's not explicitly called out anywhere. My sense is that partial leather meant leather dash/center console/door armrests/seat bolsters, but i don't know what 'full leather' adds to that list. I could probably figure it out by comparing interior codes against picture galleries of 1980 models on BAT. Next time it's really slow on a Friday night.
some cars have leather on the pod and also the door sides. Could this be full leather?

@Rob Edwards - this magical list you posted - is that model Year specific? I’m on a slow hunt for a late model classic gray interior (MX) to short-cut swapping/restoring mine back to factory but have trouble decoding parts car sellers’ interior option codes. I tried using the 968 registry lists unsuccessfully. Knowing the letters for other classic gray combinations (partial, full, with or without matching dash-console and door pulls) will widen the options pool.
If you have or can point to a similar list for MY 87+ (Mine is MY91) that will be phenomenal - thank you as always!
Hello! I'm a new member and I am happy to say that I just purchased my first 928. I am hoping you can help me learn more about my car and its options. The Vin number is: WP0JB0927GS861192. Thanks in advance for your help!
@esharon- I don't have a list for '91 but I do have one for '92, there are 9 codes for interiors that include Classic Grey, that vary based on whether the dash/etc are vinyl or leather, the seats are leather, multicolor cloth or Porsche script, etc. I suspect they were the same for '91.
The codes are: MZ, WE, JJ, TH, MS, ZX, MX, WC, and JF.

Yes. For whatever reason, Porsche was very adventurous (relatively speaking) with the GB market S4s in the 1989-1990 era with deviated piping and (to a lesser extent) center sections.
Carpet should be linen, not black.
Tasty spec on this one- no sunroof '89GT with sports seats, bummer about the rubstrips.
