This is a heavily loaded interior wise special wish car.
There is leather interior and then there is this! The only other car I have seen with so much optioned up is the last 993 ordered by one of the Barcardi drinks family.
Leather faced clocks and bezels. Leather air vents. Switches and speakers too! It would have cost an obscene amount in the day to have this amount of detailing. 'Dunno about the wood. No place for it in a 911 let alone a Speedster.
I simply cannot believe the works would have fitted that outrageously chav spoiler. It must have been fitted on the insistence of the customer by the supplying dealer once he saw it did not have one. I know Ozzie/NZ Speedsters had spoilers. So surely Porsche would have fitted a whale tail.
White wheels - they look polished and not anodized which was a US factory option plus what looks like a red inlay, the red interior with wood and black paint is strange. So is LHD delivered to the UK. It's not UK spec with a KMH speedo. Why is there a white block at 50-60kmh on the face? Was that a US spec safety thing at the time? Or HK?
Is this some sort of Arab prince car?! I'd take a standard RHD ta very much.

Presumably they must have drank a dozen bottles while they were filling the order form in !
