Guards Red with Black.. Hard to find?

Been looking around for a Guards Red Turbo with black interior. Seems like all the ones forsale have a tan interior. Was Red/black less common than red/tan?

When I was looking to buy my 911 turbo, I tracked the cars on Autotrader.com for 11 months. In that time, there were 291 different cars that listed for sale.

Of those 291 cars, 12 were red with black. Interestingly, only 3 were red with tan.

Just for reference, here is the break out by color combo from my data (not production numbers).

Exterior/Interior
Blk/Blk 66 22.7%
Blk/Tan 8 2.7%
Blk/Gry 6 2.1%
Blk/Red 1 0.3%
Blue/Blk 6 2.1%
Blue/Blue 4 1.4%
Blue/Tan 14 4.8%

How many of Blue/Grey had Tech art kits and how many of Silver/Black had OEM (not replica) GT2 front bumper?

Will definitely be holding out for Red/black. Just sold this beauty so I can't stray from the color combo

Actually there was 1 blue/grey car with a Tech Art kit and 2 silver/blk cars with the GT2 front bumper.

Unfortunately I don't know if they were OEM or not.
