95 JGC Ltd/My title says Orvis but there is no green int & no Orvis badge ouside

Anybody know about this, maybe it was an option to not get the green/gold interior. Mine is all Gold leather. It also does not have the red color Orvis badge on the front doors. It is a metalic green on the exterior just like an Orvis. Please help it has been a great Jeep for me but it is time for me to sell it and I just want to give the right information to the new owner.

I have the same option, my Vin # indicates an Orvis Edition but there is no indication from looking at the vehicle that it's an Orvis. Mine is silver/gold with the dark brown leather.

Orvis Edition Grand Cherokees were only offered in 95 and 97. A few were sold in the official color of "Light Driftwood Satin Glow". In 95 they had dark brown seats and in 97 they had light brown seats. Johneich's must be a Driftwood that's been repainted. If it was a "Moss Green" and was repainted and the badges left off, it would still have the green seats. My green one is still running strong at 203,000 miles.

I hope they didn't wait around 5 years for you to reply.

Reekor privately emailed me that no Orvis editions were ever painted any other color other than the moss green ones. Enclosed are three photos of a 1997 "Light Driftwood" Orvis edition of which there are very few. They have the same green seats like the green ones which do look decent together. This Orvis is 99% stock as the owner has replaced the original gold snowflake rims with 5.9 Limited rims from the 1998 5.9 Limited. I've also enclosed a picture of the 1997 green Orvis which has the proper rims. Also, I think I'm wrong about a second color Orvis in 1995 and apparently there were 2000 or so green Orvis' in 1996 as well. For all you Orvis fanatics out there, www.jeeporvis.com has the specs, pictures and production numbers for all three years.
