The interior is cocoa brown leather, and the only major difference from the standard S model is that the center console is missing: there's nothing from the shifter back to the carpet-covered firewall. Heated seats are nice, though...

The Special Edition plaque is mounted against the firewall, immediately below the dashboard, and the picture below is actually a little larger than "life size".
I have a special edition as well. #313 of 1953. Mine appears to be slightly different from your description of the interior. Mine has the silver trimming and has a center console covered with the brown leather (actually it is supposed to simulate oxblood).
The color of the interior and exterior of the car were specifically chosen. The 555 race car had a silver exterior and oxblood interior.
I absolutely love mine. Regarding one of the questions on the forum, one of the differences between this S car and another 2004 S car is the air filter. The air filter and box come from the 2005 987. As a result, the stated HP for the anniversary model is higher than the other 2004 986 S (264 hp).
