No they weren't Urs sports....they were/are sports
that came in a friend of mines 90 V8..Bamboo on
Traverntein. When he sold the car I bought the sports
cause at the time my 93 V8 had Travertein interior. So
I was going to put them in there.....but ended up
parting the car, so I put them up FS & Bart was one of
the many who got in touch with me about them.

 Bruce..aka germanautoconnection had a set of Urs4
sports dyed Traverntein...but he didn't like the
outcome.
 //scars did have a Traverntein interior...BEFORE ECRU
GENTLEMAN....but I've only seen mention of 2 listers
saying they had traverntein Urs4 sports. Very rare!

 But I do have a pair of Ecru Urs sports just sitting
here :-)
