Anyone seen original cloth seats in a 993 ? I guess they are pretty far between ? There is a pretty nice white '95 with red interior over here with cloth seats, never seen that before.

My apologies if you have just seen this with a hangover

Zenith blue is definately a cool color -and quite hard to find.

but man..... I could never wear the White Polyester Suit required to drive this car!

If that interior was done at Zuffenhausen.....it surely made somones week interesting -the safety eyewear must have tinted to make that one!

Its rare -but looks like a Porsche dressed as a Corvette.

or Captain America gets a Turbo!

I guess I could google it, but is there such a thing, or do you mean Wimbledon?

Any other R-listers have a C4 optioned this way?
My 96 C2 Cab has that interior but I have the Classic grey top.

How would I find out how many Turquoise Targas there are in the US, and ROW? I guess not many.
