Has anybody seen this combo on a modern 911? I'm in the market for a used 991 and one has come up that has all the optional extras I want and at the right price but is in this slightly odd combo.

I can't remember having seen a 911 with this combination and the photos don't really allow you to see how the interior and exterior colours 'flow' together.

I must say personally I think luxor beige is a bit 1980s, no offence to anybody who has one of course!

The car is hundreds of miles away so not easy to just pop in and have a look.

I'd be interested in any thoughts on the matter.

Thanks

If it's got the two tone interior with black dash and steering wheels I reckon it would look okay. Ask the vendor for better pictures or if it's an OPC I am sure they will do a vid for you. I'm about to buy a Cayenne with this interior.. I've had black leather in every car I've owned until now. I think the two tone interiors work really well...although on the Cayenne I get a leather dash etc with that which makes a massive difference.

Hi

Yes, its two tone with the black dash/steering wheel.

Are you sure the interior in the picture you have posted is luxor beige? I ask because it looks nice in that pic but in all the others I've found on the net it seems to be darker/more beige. May I also ask what the exterior colour of your Cayenne is?

Thanks very much

Sorry no that's black and cream...I was just trying to give you a real world example of what the Porsche two tone interiors look like! Exteriot colour is Moonlight Blue (very dark blue).

Understood, thanks.

That cream looks really nice btw, good choice.

Agate has a nice brown hue in sunlight so should complement the Luxor beige.
Thanks. Having now seen some more pics and a vid of it I think you're right. It's not a colour combo that would have sprung to mind but actually it works quite well. It gives the car a more luxurious GT feel rather than the aggressive/sporty feel you get with black or red

Post some pics when you buy it then! Great seeing unusual spec cars.

Here is a pic from my Cayman to give you an idea. Personally I'm a big fan of the combo as it brightens the cabin without being OTT. The leather quality is good too, although it obviously needs more TLC to stay on top of than the darker colours, but is proving durable so far.

Thank you. Yes, its really growing on me. I'd really like a non black interior for once and you're right, a lighter interior really brightens the cabin up. That only leaves two options in the year of car I'm after, either luxor beige or pebble grey.

I absolutely love the pebble grey but as that's almost off white it's a real worry how that would age. The car will be my daily drive and I'll be picking up my two young boys from school, football etc.

What colour is the outside of your car?

Thanks very much

It has a Dark Blue Metallic exterior. A friend has an Agate grey Cayman with the two tone grey/black interior and I'm a big fan of that combo too. Works especially well with Agate. I wouldn't be too worried about wear with the lighter colours, the leather quality is excellent. Decent quality leather cleaner/preserve once in a while and you'll be fine. If anything the lighter colour carpet will need more looking after.

Let us know how you get on!

I saw luxor beige with met Black exterior, looked absolutely stunning, however I've gone for agate grey ext & blk/crayon two tone leather which I've seen with Night blue met ext which again looked great, I felt that the beige just looked a bit yellowy !

Thanks.

I'm in discussions about the car as we speak, lets see what happens. The dealer is being very helpful and efficient but not moving much on price!

Here's a video of the car, luxor beige doesn't actually look that yellow in person!
