'87 Carrera Rims and Center Console

Good day everyone,
I just joined this group after I purchased a 1987 ROW Carrera in auction in Japan. This is my first Porsche, so I'm a newbie. I'm supposed to receive the car in the next couple of weeks or so.
I would like to verify a couple of things:

1) The color looks to be Prussian Blue (description said blue only), and the rims are body color. Was this a factory option or something that the previous owner did?

2) The car has a full center console that I have not seen before. Was this something that could've been a factory option also?

Thank you all and I look forward to my first Porsche experience.
Mo

Color matched wheels was and option. 87 Carrera came standard with a console but not that one... This was typically found in the 930s, along with the steering wheel id it is a factory one. Both options.

Nice car. Would you post pictures of the rear seats? It is my understanding that they are different than the ROW & North America.

Lovely car! That’ll be either Marine Blue or Venetian Blue for 1987. Prussian Blue not typical for 1987.

I have a marine blue '87, and it photographs much darker then the one above. Hard to tell lighting here, but it might be. OP's car seems to have more green in it.

I agree Larry. This car looks a bit lighter, yet “bluer” to my eyes, compared to my Marine Blue ‘87 Carrera.
