THE UPHOLSTERY / BLACK KORDSAMT
Leatherette and corduroy.
Smooth black leatherette surrounds finely ribbed black corduroy seat inserts. Porsche called the fabric Kordsamt in its German trim literature. Porsche’s 1973 color and material chart lists this combination as order 12, a factory choice available without extra cost.
It is an understated pairing: the ribs give the seat centres a soft, matte texture against the smoother bolsters and door trim. The close views in the pre-purchase films bring out a detail that is easy to miss in a photograph of the whole cabin.
The car retains its original black headliner, with the distinctive perforated material that Bob pointed out during the first cabin tour.
Black headlining is an unusual detail in an early 911 coupé. A special-order origin is possible; the original order paperwork has yet to settle that part of the story. The cabin film shows the material’s grain, perforations and seams in close-up.
Porsche’s 1973 color and material chart lists black leatherette with corduroy inserts as order 12, available without extra cost. Perforated leatherette, order 11, is marked as the standard fitment.

IN FOCUS / METALLIC GREEN
