Porsche offered 3 special leather interiors in 92-94. Matador red, Sherwood green, and Carrera Grey. Photos of two of them are above. Interesting how they used a lot of Black.

Jay I was going to post this later, closer to my decision time. My 1994 Midnight Blue/Cashmere coup have serious seat bolster issues. Hoping that they can be re-dyed. If not, I am thinking about going with new 2 tone leather seat covers. Thinking about Midnight Blue or Cobalt Blue and Cashmere. Not sure if I will do dark bolsters and light bottoms and backs or the other way around, or mix and match. These seats are the regular "comfort" seats.
Do you think this will effect eventual resale value?

Thanks,

Jeff, that second pic with the sherwood green interior, I think that car is currently for sale in Germany.. I've had my eye on that for a while as I think its quite a special car with rare exterior and interior colours. And a Cab would go well with my sunroof delete coupe.

Its great so see pics of the various and more special colours inside and out that the 968 could be ordered with.. Keep them coming..

Hi Alex.

Yes it is for sale in Germany and it was me who linked to it. A friend of mine has seen it in person and according to him it is a good solid and honest car.

I do not. But of the 4,242 North American 968s 1 of them came equipped with the Carrera grey special leather. I have not seen it yet. And to top it off, it has sport seats!

I can't see it. the link is blocked.

Remember, the Carerra grey would be similar to the Sherwood and Matador in the it would use black on the upper sections of the dash and door panels.

What about Chestnut Brown Full Leather? Does that make the cut?

Certainly rare and very cool but not classified as special. For the later 968s you would be looking at Flamenco Red and Provience Blue. Both of these have black in the upper section as well.
