Agreed that the pattern is different from a Euro car. There have been enough Euro cars sold here to compare that the seats are exact to this car. Colors are another question, picture #355 in the Euro brochure states you could order a car with different materials including leather. I removed the seats, they have never been recovered. The paper tags and the horsehair would not have survived all this time. Could they have born with the car, most likely. Could they have been swapped when new from what is believed to be black, possibly. Either way the interior is very clean along with the rest of the 2002.
