Does anyone have pictures of the interior and trunks. I'm just curious and I've never seen any good pics other than the exterior. Thanks

a couple more This car was custom built for the ''Doctor",did they model the seat material off his favourite tweed suit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I always wonder if this car is the most valued car in the collection......has to be. |

Thanks guys!
Looks like a full leather interior. Headliner with speakers and sunroof Tach that red lines at 8500!!! Some other small details I don't see a gas gauge. |

Love this car,was the motor on carbs around 180hp?,I seem to remember they made more on MFI , the developement of this engine caused the racing department some headaches from what I read,the first test motor delivered a disappointing result during initial testing. Judging by the scuffing and wear marks on the interior I looks like it was fairly well used. Could the sunroof be an electric one from say a 911 of that era,don't know. Calling all history buffs on this one. |

This car is nothing less than spectacular, but now I'm curious about that interior. If those are speakers mounted in the roof they have got to be tiny & must sound really thin. Since there is no light between the seats, there is no radio next to the climate controls, I think they're dome lights & not speakers, but I'm really not sure.

Those are definitely dome lights. The sunroof is a manual crank and it moves forward into the roof.

I've always wanted to see the exhaust/heat exchangers. I've always wanted to see the details on how the factory did MFI on the 916's

sunroof handle and operation looks a lot like an early M.B. turned around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Doesn't look like there are any heat tubes coming up through the rocker behind the speaker pod location. This car seems to have just a piece of carpet covering that area. |

sunroof handle and operation looks a lot like an early M.B. turned around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Melding two of your car brands. It's a cool idea and would really stiffen up the car wouldn't it? If it had AC or wing-vent windows you wouldn't even miss the targa roof not being there. |

My Suby conversion will have a steel top and a/c. It won't duplicate the factory 8 but I will probably borrow the monochromatic paint. I was going to skip all the usual stiff kits other than the suspension console. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If a prototype, then the design was already there for the dual seats....should have rolled to production. Why create a fixed seat and then change back? Sounds costlier to me.. Never understood why they went fixed at all. |

I'd guess that it has to be more labor intensive to install a moving passenger seat, however @ some point market research & customer feedback told them it was needed & worth the additional labor costs. |
