What is the correct name for this tan interior

[speedracer]

thanks

cork

[porschenut]

Yup, cork. Though I'm baffled why they would call it that. I've never seen a cork even close to that color.

[speeder]

Yeah, "Sunset in Maui" would have been a more accurate name, but it's Cork.

Ok thanks guys. Is Camel lighter or darker?

[islandflyer]

looks like mine, I thought it was called caramel?? I could be wrong.

Great looking interior! I think it is one of the best looking interior colors but I don't seem to see it all that often. Love the fat 930 wheel too!

I don't think that is cork. I think it is camel.
Cork is a bit lighter and has a pretty unique '70's look to it.

[porschenut]

I know for a fact that this one is cork. I'm not sure how camel (or caramel) compares.

The original photo is definitely NOT cork. Porschenut's interior IS cork.

Porschenut does your cork interior have a slight "flake" to it as a cork in a bottle does. It sort of looks like that on the picture of your door. thanks

Porschenut is cork. I am cork. Depending on the lighting, camera etc. it can look a bit different.

LOL! Actually, that's not my car. I found the picture a couple months ago when I was trying to decide if I wanted to change my grey-beige interior to cork. Like you, I noticed the slightly mottled look to the door panel and dash top, which I like. I'm not sure if it really looks like that or if it's just the picture.

It's not my car. It is an 84 Carrera on ebay which caught my eye.

I can confirm that the pic Porschenut posted is Cork (I had a `77S with Cork interior ). It has a more orange-ish hue than caramel. Also, the vinyl surfaces have a "blotted" color pattern, as if they were painted with a sponge.

This is a beat up camel interior (so i think)

[al lkosmal]

My car is a 77S with cork interior & according to Mark S. Haab's book..the 1974-1989 911 etc authenticy series, that was a standard interior color that year. It looks like cork was only available from 1977 thru 1979, as a standard color. I'm looking at the 1984 listings and cork is not listed. Also, caramel/camel is not listed. In fact none of the colors listed sound as if they desribe the corky, caramelly color of that interior, although you could always get it colored to sample.

I don't know what kind of camels they have in Germany, but I have never seen one that color.
