Amazing, best interior I have seen among the 991s. What is the leather colour code for the interior?

All of you thank you for the kind words.

The interior is Ascot Brown, my understading is that it was only offered in the CGT and this was some of the left over leather. I will post a couple of other pictures of it. There are no stickers, exterior stripes are painted.

Interesting car, swb3

I dislike the gulf blue with orange, but find the interior really nice

Thanks for the pics, i'm not a fan of gulf but man that interior is just soo good.
May i ask how much they charge to change the silver aluminium strip next to the speakers? I want to remove most of the silver bits in my .2 order.
Enjoy in good health.

Damn, now I have to figure out how to crack my 1/43 version open so I can match the interior!

She's a beauty. Any other special options you care to share with us, that's not obvious in your pics?

Thats a good question. This process started a year ago and I have a hard time remembering the various things we did to the build. The steering wheel 12 o'clock marker is Gulf orange. The mirrors as you might notice are all Gulf blue. The back has Ascot Brown as shown in the picture. We tried to line the front boot with Ascot Brown however it deformed and we could only highlight certain parts. You might have noticed the Back engine grill is painted Gulf Blue....Thats all I can think of other than the exterior painted stripes over the top and sides.

The original Goal was to copy my Singer Dubai, however an exact PTS and interior leather match was not possible so I guess this is a tribute to that if you will.

One important point that should be made, my dealer rep and his contact in the CXX department deserve 88% of the credit, I have a hard time dressing myself let alone putting a build like this together. While I hatched the original idea they are largely to credit for the overall execution which honestly blew me away the first time I saw it in person.

I'm not great utilizing the quotes feature on here so thank you all for the nice comments, I also appreciate it might not be for everyone and I respect that as well.

One additional point, I buy cars to drive. While some might put it away for a day 10-20 years from now thats not me. When I walk past a car I own and have not driven in a long time it makes me anxious and I feel I either need to drive it or sell it. I just can't find satisfaction only looking at them and never driving, thats just me.
