Has anyone seen this interior?

Pardon the image quality. Dealer's cellphone pic resized. Anyway, has anyone seen this color scheme interior before? The panels are the same as other MINI seats I've seen, but not the color or the material. Obviously black and orange, the headrest is vinyl, but the upholstery of the seats, armrests and the center console is almost like burlap. The fabric for the bottom of the seat is tucked in as would be expected, and the bottom of the back is too, but it's almost like the fabric for the seat back was pulled over the seat frame; there are two long zippers in the back. Never seen anything like this, and wanted to try to determine whether this is OE or changed by one of the previous owners. 2013 S Roadster with the JCW appearance package.

That has to be custom. Especially with the matching armrest. Very strange, thanks for sharing!

That's increasingly my thinking. If it were part of a color theme package, I would think the dash panel above the glove box drop down would be orange as well, as I've seen on the ones with the "Rooster Red" color way.

Yes, its a custom interior or wet okole seat covers.

Back in the gen 1 MINI days custom leather interiors were the thing. Dealerships would have them done before delivery.
