My 308s interior is original.
But, I think you might be referring to the photo in my signature which is the Pasha interior of the '78 928 I recently purchased.
Bob Budd of Classic9 Leather Shop did the interior on that one.

Not sure why, but I can't get the walk around video to load in the original ad.

Your ad should be used as a template for all the moronic sellers who put no detailed info into their ad yet expect top $$$
