camel interior color

Anyone ever have or see a white/cream spider with camel interior. I like the black but it gets crazy hot in the sun.

When I first redid my interior I was going to switch to vanilla with red piping. Big mistake. It gets filthy dirty in the convertible. Went back to black, and if I'm leaving her outside in the sun - a large beach towel over the front seats works well.

An alternate I've seen (sptcoupe) are his nice sheepskin covers!

I really like the sheepskins. Cool in summer, warm in winter and easy to keep clean. Never have posted pics on here, but I'll try.

Tan (Camel I guess) interiors are very common. I've also seen them in blue, black, red, and this weird orangish color that I can't believe was OEM, but it was 1979 after all. I've only seen one car, ever, with the orangish interior (and blue exterior, barf) and the guy bought every interior part in the same color for when it wore out. I never saw the car again, but I know the hideous parts were OEM, he bought them from an orphaned dealership in the bags (I bought A-Arms in FIAT bags, I think I came out ahead)...

Somewhere on line I came across a french blue with red interior spider and while In my head that combo does not work I really liked the car! My black OEM interior is perfectly fine with no tears except for one of my headrests but Ive always dreamt of re doing it in leather some day and I love how natural tan leather ages.

I liked the original Audi TT with baseball glove leather. It would result in an interior worth more than the car.

Red interior with blue exterior - that's the 70s baby..
