I have seen those seats in early 924 models and even in early 944. I would say those seats are somewhat rare but not super rare.

edit: It is possible that tweed seats are more rare in US. It could be that it is a market area issue. US cars seems to be better equipped. (apart from 931 brakes 1979-1980

) Tweed seats are sort of basic thing, not an option. Leather would be an option to pay some extra, tweed hardly not.

The tan tweed seats were common in the 81 Weissach Special Edition cars.

my last car was a uk '79 martini replica.... it had a slightly similar interior

sold that car in nov/dec last year, was leaking like mad from the roof and it was destroying the interior

That red tweed is SNAZZY

Never seen that one before!

My 81 NA has the same grey tweed on the seats, but not on the door panels. I like it.

That is the coolest interior I have seen. Why weren't more produced? Tweed seats are so comfortable and warm. The leather looks cool but fabric is so much nicer to live with

love it! the red tweed must be the best int ever! on any car.
I've never really liked leather either. cloth is better imo.
