When soviet Union broke down,in 90's my father's job was to bring cars from France,Germany.He sold these cars in Lithuania.
And once upon a time he brought me Porsche 959 in silver.I remember it was 1/18 and had half opened windows and sharp aerial.
That 959 was incredible,but I was a kid...
And it didn't survive...
I feel very bad about it,but time goes and some things are left in a past... :)
So now when I grew up as a serios collector, I wanted to had another one,which would survive :D
Searched it for a long time,but Exotos cost about 100 pounds and more.It was not for my budget...
So I left that idea for some time...
Some months later ran my eye over ebay and found one in Greece for 70 pounds including shipping.I was so happy,when it arrived! :)
Here she is :)

I have the same one ,in the same color. Nice pics ,a great (old) model ,that I've searched for like 7-8 months to find it at a good price.

About that interior ,it's not that bad ,I'm not a fan of the color combo ,but it's not ugly either. Here's a pic of the real thing:

It's a 10 year old diecast ,so fabric on the seats was a little bit too much those days, and since this is a motorbox ed. not a pure exoto, it's self explanatory.
And yes ,the 959 had leather seats as an option.

L.E.: umm ,carbonsigma ,where does the 997's interior look just like this?

I mean they have distinctive features and small similarities but...I'll say you just where ironical.

in my opinion 959 is still the most breath taking Porsche today. I used to have all Motorbox/Exoto variations/colors and sold them all (I had doubles of the Silver and the white ones) and I sure hope Autoart's comes out with A LOT more details than this Exoto called Revell model.

Exoto and I assume Porsche produced some weird colours for the 959. I had one in Palisander (metalic brown) and decided it wasn't for me so I sold it and bought a black one. I'm not sure what the interior colour is cause its still in its box.
