With the exception of the brown sport seat interior all the others are cinnamon. Some of the photos are washed out so appear light. Plus as cinnamon ages with prolonged exposure to sunlight it lightens. My original M34 interior and seats has only one tip lever on the passenger seat. The dash post is not cinnamon
Here is a car as found in the PO's garage some time ago, as it sat "maturing" like a fine wine for many years. I've been slowly bringing it back to its former glory.
The interior, although very dusty, is definitely brown, and not cinnamon or beige/tan. For reference.
This is a tan interior.. The door panels could be a later but the seats are correct color
Tom Dance, may he R.I.P, offered for sale a very nice Albert Blue on tan S coupe a few years back.
If anybody cares to, they could probably search his old posts in here to find it. It would be a very nice reference, as it was very well preserved IIRC.
I thought this was Cinnamon.
This is a Viper Green '72 I worked on 2 years ago. Working from the original dash insert material, under the ignition bezel, where it was protected from fading, I found a matching vinyl and used it throughout the interior. Hard to tell with variations in photography and monitors, but it appeared more 'orangey' than the examples show so far in this thread.
not knowing the exact name of the color involved i was labeling these as "tan". they've been spray painted black with what i thought to be a vinyl paint. whatever it is isn't very durable as it removes easily w/ lacquer thinner as tested on an edge. see detail pic.

these are out of a 72 E and are well preserved with leather.
In looking for the houndstooth pictured, I came across a current brochure showing and naming colors of German fabrics. and found the exact brown and guess what, its called cinnamon and if you ever seen fresh cinanmon its a darkish brown much like the sport seats posted and these 72 E
so I think the light seats would be the tan or "beige" designation
Have you found the seats you are looking for yet? I got a pair of front seats
from s 73 911S that are the color you are looking for. They were removed from the car when it was about a year old and replaced with some sport Recaro seats. I have had them on a shelf in my garage for years. If you are interested, I can check their condition and email you some pictures.
