Why are Grey/Cream/Beige Leather Interiors so hard to find for a Mk3?

[les.tansey]

...Like this one I mean :



Were they limited edition or something, because personally I think they are far nicer than the black ones and therefore should be more common and easier to get hold of...  . They seem to be more common in automatics and cabriolets for some reason.

I really want a set of these but cant find a decent set anywhere... does anyone have a set they would sell? Or am I best to just buy a cheap cloth set and get them recovered in cream leather?

Cheers

Thanks for the imput so far guys, the picture at the top is of one which Steven's Volkswagen dismantlers are selling. It could well be that one which you saw on ebay Dogbot althoough I may be wrong. The problem with that interior is that it doesn't come with door cards and there is some dodgy orange mark/stain on the rear bench and there is some bolster wear too. In saying that they have reduced them in price from £250 but they're still a trek away to pick up and even then they could be a bit buggered elsewhere... It's a tricky one really.

Oh also, this is probably a dumb question, but the ones above Recaro seats aren't they? (I only ask because only some of the cloth ones in that shape have recaro stiched into the back-rest).

I'm currently looking for people breaking vr6's too - cheers Tweed

Hahaha, on second thoughts, it looks like you didn't come across the stevens volkswagen dismantlers cream leather seats. Thankyou -  the only problem is they are for a 3-door - DAMN. I'll still look into them though thankyou

Cheers for the responses so far guys 

Does anyone have are 5-door Cream Leather interior which they are selling? Or know anybody who is?, let me know .

Also, does anyone have any idea as to how much it would cost to get mk3 seats and door cards re-trimmed in cream leather... i'm guessing it would cost a lot more than it is worth, but thought I may aswell ask anyway
