Asimo Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 That is a lovely colour to sit upon. If it was velour it would be perfect. Seat covers are available, but seriously, you wouldn't notice after a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Rustbucket Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I assumed you wanted to make an interior that colour when I first looked at the pictures, rather than wondering if it should put you off. I like it! I can see that others might not though, so it could make it more difficult to sell on, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 That's pretty much the colour of my Volvo's interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mally Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Being quite honest, I like it. But I'd worry about selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-M Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 If you'd buy it, someone else would. I know a chap with a black Corniche convertible with a very similarly hued interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Chaps who buy Bristols care not about mere plebeian dictates of colour co-ordination, they do not have to be told nor hold up recommended colour charts against one another in Homebase. After all, they paid Rolls-Royce money for something on Jag wheels that looks like BL designed in a tea break during the shutdown. I absolutely love them, by the way!

richardmorris Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Looks lovely to me. Do they open at 9am tomorrow? Having said that, it's not as cheap as I thought it may be. It looks perfect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 If you can't get red, get Kingfisher. If you can't get a Cadillac, get a Bristol. Job jobbed. Have you bought it yet? mercrocker, inconsistant, AMC Rebel and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobietoo Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Not at all..... it is of its time and suits the car perfectly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayne Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I love the fact that it's not resale silver with a black interior. I love the fact that the last owner had it for over 20 years. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braddon81 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Lovely motor! Not many really tidy examples of these in existence.It wouldn't end of the world if you had to re-dye the leather to the colour of your choice. I think it suits the delightful eccentricity of not only the car..but of what must have been the characterful first owner who ordered that colour combo!

cort1977 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'm sure that I am the kind of person that Tony Crook would have refused as a customer. He would have known that I was the kind of wrong 'un who would be tempted to put some alloy heads on that big motor. Colour scheme would not put me off, suits it perfectly.

Guest Breadvan72 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 It was the long nosed Patrician Clark slagging off Heseltine for being a self made man. Verdict: snobby git. richardmorris and AMC Rebel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
