I would like to see some pics of leather interiors. Add here... maybe not what you are looking for, but this is the direction i went because when i got my car, not runnning etc, the seats also were shot, the vinyl was so brittle it was cracking to the touch, what was left, and the foam was really bad too, so i would have needed all of that. i found these 911/993 seats in pretty good shape. the inserts are clean and nice, the bolsters have some checking but after treatment with saddle soap and mink oil they softened up, but for the price i have nice seats that cost 1/2 or less than restoring the originals and they are much more comfortable- wider, longer and taller- I'm 6'2'' and the regular 914 seats were a bad whiplash waiting to happen- so for now, this is what i have---- phil Attached thumbnail(s) |

They fit with the backpad and the ebrake? How much work to get the rails to work? Are they hooked up for power? |

Self edit : I just realized that is the infamous M741 car of the " doctors " isn't it ? I recognize that coffee stain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
I still like the script inserts and the door panel stitching (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s) |

They fit with the backpad and the ebrake? How much work to get the rails to work? Are they hooked up for power? They are 8 way electric wired . The seats fit nicely in the back pad, i had a new fiberglass backpad from 914ap and had him cover it in 1/8'' foam and new vinyl rather than the thick foam that is used originally. |

IIRC it is factory original but I could be wrong. I just remember someone pointing out how G had strategically placed the seal belt latch to cover the coffee stain. I have some pics of the whole car somewhere. Or you can find the MUSR thread from 2010 |

I was not aware they had those kind of interior options for the 914-6 ...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

That's because it's a 916...each had a custom interior.

M471 was a factory package. "essentially" a pimped out 916. Leather interior etc. I'll dig out the pics of it tonight. Chris Foley and I were all over that thing taking pics of the steel top, and body panel gaps, and I can assure you that the factory 916 bumpers are far from perfect fit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

M471 ..... isn't that a 914-6 with flares etc? .............. however I do recall me geting that pic during a 916 interior search. Yes, you are correct. M471 is the factory sport option code (a code used throughout the line-up - NOT just for the 914-6). On 914-6, the M471 package was a cosmetic makeover with GT flares, I 'think' wider wheels . . other guys here can tell you exactly what you got if you ordered that option when you bought your 914-6. Unless they have been modified after the fact, the interiors would just be stock 914-6 like the rest of the car. This is George's 914-6 M471 and another member's (SMG) M471 The 11 (or was it 12?) 916 prototypes were completely factory built and were definitely not modified 914-6's like the M471. All had custom factory interiors. This is George's 916 with the script interior (and the coffee stain!) This one came with the 2.7 engine which also ended up in the 911 Carrera RS and the caramel coloured leather interior in the post above is from this 916 which sold a few years ago - I think the engine this one has is a 2.4 |

I was gonna extend the factory chamfer on the bottom into my AA flares ..........but seeing as how the factory did not do that ........... I may not either ...
