If you look at the photos Colin posted above, you can see that the leather is not flat - it has some light folds/creases in it - this is where the ruffled name comes from.

I can feel an eBay auction coming on for that interior, but at least I now know that it is called Cashmere, not biscuit, thanks to you boys. There is some usual wear on the drivers side bolster which I will probably have repaired or re-trimmed, otherwise it is pretty mint.

I've always been a sharing type of guy so it's a pleasure to post threads up that are actually appreciated by genuine enthusiasts, which is definitely one of the reasons why we all spend so much time on Rennlist. I cannot promise that this thread will be the usual riveting project as there is no definitive end game just yet, it's probably going to be more like a continuous blog with regular updates as I sift through the problems and irritations of the car and gradually get it to how I really want it.

Ah ha! I'm another one of those sad people who likes sports seats, ruffled leather and the biscuit colour, it's a pretty rare combination from what I can tell? My everyday car is a red Audi S4 Avant and that has a charcoal & carbon interior with silver (beige grey) seats and I always feel better for it feeling light and airy, hence why I was even more attracted to the combination. Unfortunately that means that I won't be in a rush to part with the interior just yet, but if/when I do I will definitely give you first refusal, OK?

One of the reasons for buying the car was to use as a test bed for a new 9m 964/993 performance engine package which is planned for final development early in 2014
Focussing on the lightweight theme - is there development potential of getting 996 brakes/ PCCB to fit?

Well, technically I have never left it as we still own Kermit, there is a LHD 9m64RS in pieces all over the workshop waiting on the shell preparation and we also have a RHD 964 Tip that is waiting on a reconstruction. The big difference with this one is that I can drive it, I suppose?
Is there two Green Cup Manthey cars?

He's already installed a set, years ago in fact. Some old threads mention it (would link, but on my phone) and even pics on the 9m website (old one, not cloud9). Would also love to hear more.

Hi Colin - I'm delaying my own upgrade plans (currently thinking VRAM conversion) to see what 9m come up with - guessing this is off the back of the 74 RSR recreation project? Very excited !!!

It is true, we have dabbled with PCCB brakes in the past when a customer requested us to take his car to Mov-it for the conversion. Although the conversion was a success, I doubt that Ninemeister will be considering ceramic discs as a viable option for the aircooled 911 range just yet.
