OK, thanks for clarification.
I agree with Steve, the cinnamon/beige is a very particular two-tone vinyl that no reproduction I've seen is able to replicate.
Here is a very nice 29.000mls from new 73 2.4T with totally original intrerior that is for sale in Italy. These are the seats (or the vinyl) I'm searching for:

With dalmatian blue, one of my favourite colour combinations:

How about a tan or whatever color you call this dashboard?
Rgds, Cees
I have a tan 1975-77 dash like that without the speaker grille..
How much for that tan 1974 dash?
I seriously doubt that the interior in the blue 72T is original here is why...
To me the seats look a little over stuffed and the wrong color (to light). Plus there are no head rests and the safety belts are not original.. The paint on the recliners is to shinny and the sides do not have the shoulder/lap belt hooked up although the bracket is there. The bracket is a bolt on so if the shoulder belts were not required in italy in 72 the seats would not have the brackets.
That is just my opinion and I once made a mistake...but only once:D..
What do you guys think???
The blue car has been repainted as was of a different colour when found.
Probably the recliners were repainted as well.
The belts are aftermarket items, in Italy it wasn't mandatory to have them and they were installed later, so non original or later-type ones (SC or 3.2) are normal.
I finally found some photos of another car, I'm pretty sure this is an original paint car:

Headrests were an option in Italy, so it could be that a car hasn't got them.
Here is another one, a 73 2.4T:

They all seem to me the same type of leatherette.

The blue car seemed a shade or two off and I am not surprised it was repainted.
It might be possible that Italian 911s had a different color interior material but I doubt it.
I P.S.ed the attached photos of the Aubergine car and this is closer to the tan (beige) interior that I have seen on the US 911s. The flash of the camera might also be causing it to look like a lighter color..
Actually the color of the dash in this post is very close to the color of the 2 sets of original interior I have.
I just remembered that I have a few pieces of a tan interior in the rafters. I will take a photo and send it today...
seats were obviously redone and improperly re-assembled, notice that the tip lever which should be at the top of the bracket is not there in the driverside shot. they mixed up the side brackets for the backs.Quote:

oddly enough I will have a set of seats today from a 72 in blue that I think are exactly the color that this blue car would of have originally.
I'll post pics later
I sold a 73 sunroof T to Germany last year that had been repainted Dalmation blue but was gold originally and the interior was original in excellent shape and it was brown like the previous pictures of the "cinnamon" sport seats. I thought it was called "tobacco"
anyone ever hear or came across that name for that color?
The sport seat photo is brown, not cinnamon. All of the interior posts but the brown one look like cinnamon to me. Some of the photos are washed out so they look light. Plus as cinnamon ages with too much sun exposure it lightens. The dash post is not cinnamon. My original M34 interior has no tip lever on the driver seat, passenger seat only.
