As with all of these things, I'm prepared to wait for the right car. Money obviously isn't limitless, but I'll have a fairly decent budget for the car itself and then a healthy contingency budget for any "unforeseen" issues that may well arise during the early period of ownership.
I'm not particularly interested in changing it significantly - possibly only another set of wheels for summer/winter use as well as the aforementioned steering wheel and gearknob, but other than that I'd like to keep it as standard as possible.

Seal grey is both rare and desirable, which commands a premium (as I'm sure you are aware).
I'm not familiar with the 997, but I've never seen a car with the tan/Savannah interior that's not blue (most common), black (less common) or red (rare as).
The observation that I'd make is that the Porsche tan interior is (in my view) a bit OTT - it's all one colour. The way that others (Ferrari for example) does it is to mix black and tan elements, so dash and door tops are black, seats are tan and so on, which I feel looks a lot better.
Therefore, a route forward might be to get a black interior and have panels re-trimmed.
