Contrasting interior colour scheme


Recommended Posts

Posted

Majority of modern cars have (boring) grey or black interiors regardless of exterior colour. All three of my cars have unusual colour combinations.

 

My Mercedes W123 has a beige exterior with a dark red interior.

The W124 E220 has white paint and a very blue (MB-Tex) interior:

But the favourite of the three is my Boxster's metalic dark blue paint and camel leather interior:

Now show me yours.

A while back I was let loose on the options list for a qashqai for the in-laws.

Naturally, the car was painted beige and I insisted they wait an extra month on delivery to bask in the glory of a "chocolate orange" interior like this:

Sadly not as garish as JM's Rover but not bad for a modern.

Wow the interior of that C4 is beautiful! Very hard to find with black leather and a glass roof. What engine?

It's a VTS 180 & I love it! Not many on Autoshite appreciate it though.

 

Love the headrests on the Vel Satis (did I meet you at some Citroen rally in a Maroon 04 Vel satis?)

There was a black BMW on RR a while ago with a nice purple interior.

Also the mk1 Carlton with green velour seats.  :wub:

You did indeed! That was just after I'd picked it up. It made it back and is still going strong!

The C4 looks stunning, glad to hear it's a proper petrol too. Would like to see some more of that!!

That Vel Satis interior is the most wonderful thing. I have always wanted one just like that (the wood) but I didn't know they did that shade of leather.

I remember driving a pre facelift burgundy mk3 'tina around the auction ring and even the steering wheel was a matching shade of deep red. The Brucie bonus was it having a front bench seat and magic wand gear lever, something I'd never seen before or since on a mk3.

The Xantia(medium ish blue had beige leather & carpets which I liked,but it had black dash which broke it up a bit.When I bought the Volvo(dark blue),it had a beige interior which I thought I could live with,but after a couple of weeks I got fed up with it & fitted a complete dark grey interior which suits it much better.You could get some interesting 2-tone interiors on C70s though  :shock:

I think someone I used to work with about 30 years ago had a MK 3 with a bench seat,they must have been really early ones?
