I found this little red gem (Guards red) at the local OPC.

Where was that as a matter of interest, and do you know if it's still available?

 

[Nosmo]

OPC Tonbridge. I didn't see it this weekend just gone but they are struggling with space due to the refurbishment. It might be parked in their compound.

Nothing wrong with that. Looks pretty sweet. I really love the looks of those seats. with the red stitching and sport tex material. The 718 in the headrest really sets it off. Someone is going to get a nice car

@Nosmo, asking Price of the "T" in question?

 

[718]

Personally not keen on those seats. The doors are kinda cool though.

 

[Baka1969]

I wonder if us Americans will ever get the T?

If only you could option out the gloss black trim

And the cloth on those seats, it's absolutely horrible.

 

[Uz718]

The seats are almost identical to the Sports Tex seats in mine, they are excellent seats. Very comfortable.

Looks good.

Sorry @Porsche2018, I didn't check it out at the time. @Higgy might know if he has been in touch with the centre since. It will be pretty expensive with the optioned interior T packages.

It's got to be better than Alcantara.

LOL, I've been there & done that in my old 987 Cayman & I didn't much care for that either, but for different reasons. I've got nothing against Sport Tex as such, I just happen to really detest pin stripe, be it on a car seat, a suit, or anything else for that matter.

I have the sport plus seats with sportex material also. There is no stripe in it from memory but more of a pebble dash effect. They have the contrast silver stitching that extends across the whole of the interior that looks ace. I just love the look of the seats and was a must have option

Uzzi, I must have a better look at yours next time

Say it isn't so!

Correct, standard Sport Tex does not have a stripe. This car has the 'T Interior package' option, which adds the pin stripe, colour coded stitching, seatbelts, grab handles etc. It is available in red, yellow, silver, and green. It is exclusive to the T models and pretty much the only way you can get any colour other than black in the T interior.

Yes mine doesn't have the stripe either - sorry shouldve been clear. Mine are leather with the sport Tex inserts, I think me and @Gtipirelli have the same? Alan will check it out on the June meet.

That's a bit of a shame really as the colour coded stitching, seatbelts, grab handles, seat logo part of the package look really nice & with that black dash insert (which I don't believe you can option out) it's a bit of a gloomy interior without them. They unfortunately won't let you have any of the nice bits but still retain the standard black seat centre cloth. If I were in the market for a 2.0 litre, then even if I wanted a car with most of the options as fitted to the "T", I'd still entirely cross it off my list just because of that. I'd much rather spec up a base (which also gets proper door pulls thrown in) & pay the extra cash. :|

Agreed, and no you can't option the gloss black insert out, which is real negative IMO.
