Those were for the Scottish market... Just kidding!

In Europe, most Porsche models had standard cloth seats; leather was optional. This plaid style was one of the cloth options offered in the mid-90ies.

Remember: European cars in Europe are not as nicely equipped as they are here in the US. If you want to buy a European car in Europe, with the US standard equipment, be prepared to spend another 20% on options. And then consider the Euro-Dollar exchange rate of 1.2 Dollars to 1 Euro, as well as the VAT that starts at 33% in GErmany and can go extremely high in Denmark. We are getting bargains on European cars over here...

Now you figure out why Europeans are not buying Gazillions of US cars instead...

Wow. The first time I saw the pasha checkboard fabric it was a little dizzying, but I like it. Somehow, it just seems right in a 928. Plaid is not. Not at all. I hope to never see a paisly car...
