Is finding Silver with Tan a needle in a haystack?

I am looking for a 05-07 997 S coupe with the color scheme of exterior of either silver\seal\slate with tan\brown leather.

Also needs to be:

Manual with Nav

Nice to haves but not mandatory:
Full leather
Chrono


Is this hard to find...every car I find via cars.com or ebay with these exteriors have black interior.

Guess my question is will I only find one if it was a special order?

More common than my slate / sand / tip - that took me 2 years to find. Manual is much more common and you're flexible on exterior color so that helps. Great color combo. I'd hold out to get exactly what you want. The contrast between the gray and the tan is the best IMHO.

I saw a lot of silver on black and silver on blue, but no silver on tan during the search for my '05. Be patient and I hope one turns up soon for you.

auto manufacturers dont usually make that type of combination by default as it's too close in color value between the tan/silver. it's probably out there but prolly on due to someone ordering it built that way.

That is part of the Bose. Not sure why, but the coupe does not have the hump.

Bose subwoofer enclosure is behind the backseat in the coupe. That hump is where the enclosure is at in a cab.
