Smile Hey guys, quick question about 1999 a4 b5

I have an audi a4 b5 1999 quattro 1.8t wagon, and it has a maroon red leather interior with a red leather centre console lid and red door trims, also other little red features in the interior,
is this a rare thing?? ive searched and searched but cant seem to find anything at all to do with a 1999 a4 wagon (or sedan for that matter) having a red leather interior, they are all standard carpet vinyl interiors or black leather, does anyone else have this red interior and if not, is it a one off / rare thing ??

Care to post a picture?

Pretty sure I know what you're talking about, and yes, that color is more rare than ecru (tan) or black.

nah I don't have any pictures of it as it's in the shop currently awaiting to have it's new rims and tyres fitted but yeah, it's a maroon deep rep color or maybe it's just faded to that but do you reckon the guy custom ordered this color?? all the other Quattro 1.8t wagons have just original black leather interior

Appears to be a vinyl seat without power controls, so that isnt rare. But a leather without them would be.

And to the original question, if you have a color other than what is shown in this picture it is really rare, and you should post a picture once its back from the shop.

Here are some images of the interior, its hard to see but its a real dark red / maroon colour not a brown, and i bought it like this it looks like a standard thing, so im wondering if the guy who originally bought it might have custom ordered / purchased it from audi?? or is this a normal interior colour for the interior of an A4 B5 1999 Quattro? oh and it has a little red / silver audi kind of logo on the steering wheel too...

That right there is a unicorn if I've ever seen one, I didn't even know terracotta leather sport seats existed. You literally have the 2 most rare options available on a B5. Kinda odd though since we never got leather seats as an option for the 1.8t. Are the seats power or manual?
