Once upon a time, the stock seat was all leatherette (vinyl). This could be had in combination with some sort of cloth inserts in the center of the seats. Or, you could have gotten leather seating surfaces, with the sides and backs of the seats in vinyl. You could get all leather front seats, with everything else in the interior in vinyl. Or leather front seats, with cloth inserts.

True, non-standard setups could be ordered.
But the "standard equipment" setup for '87 (and up) was the "partial leather" interior - seating surfaces on front seats (shown as "partial leather seats" on the window sticker), shift knob and boot, and steering wheel in leather, everything else is vinyl.
I've always wanted a "full leather" interior (dash, door pulls, everything!), but they seem to be pretty rare, esp. in the G50 cars for some reason. I think the vast majority of these cars were not special ordered, but were built by porsche, shipped over, and sold off the lot.
