I really (really) want a 993 Turbo, but I'm not sure I could live with the 'special order' interior.

TBH it`s the steering wheel that really ruins it. Even the dash isn`t too bad.

Anyway, as a complete package I think I could live with it...........

If the dash wasn't dog-cock red along with the rest of it, then yes. As it is, then no.

Agreed, looks OK apart from the wheel.

Easy to change i'd imagine?

Yet some would say on a Chimaera it looks okay. Bomber Denton's Chimaera is roughly those colours.

Does nothing for me - either the 993 or the Chimaera.

I don't think its that bad, bet it looks better in the flesh. There are much more vulgar Porsche colour combinations out there.

I could live with that. After changing the gear knob, handbrake and steering wheel to black.

Agreed. The steering wheel in particular looks a bit '80's Astrali...

No problem, it's German bad taste at it's finest.

Porsche cannot do coloured interiors. Why every single thing needs to be in the colour is beyond me. For me the gearstick and gaiter needs to be black, the wheel needs to be black and the top half of the dash needs to be black. Then, you have a nice interior.

Had just been looking at that ad and thinking the very same thing and no, I could not live with the interior.

I'd certainly put more than 1,000 miles a year on it too wink

Garlick, step away from the dog cock coloured interior Porsche. No matter how much you want one, you can do better.....

Worryingly thats the same line I used to talk my best mate out of marrying his ex

I like the interior, it's the exterior colour and Aero II kit I couldn't live with.

Definitely. In fact, I'm after a Cerbera with a similar colour scheme.

I love it. I once drove a 911 with the most horrendous mushy pea green interior i have ever seen.
