Interior colour advice required

[95 quid Peugeot]

I've been looking at moving on my nice cars x4 and putting the money into one car to to time constraints. ( Mrs 95 quids 96yo mum is now with us and we want to convert a room behind the house)

As tolerant as she is to my car choices and purchases I've a problem with interior of a Bristol I fancy

Totally honest opinions. would this colour scheme stop you buying the car.

Ps. It's Kingfisher!!!!!!

[DVee8]

Errrr no not at all.

[Bren]

No.

[Squire_Dawson]

See above. Colour is to be encouraged.

[RayMK]

Ditto

[Asimo]

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.

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

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.

[Snipes]

It would make me want it even more

[95 quid Peugeot]

I actually love it. Bit of convincing still to be done. I'd thought she'd be more Meh. With the pig ugly car

[Richard]

That's pretty much the colour of my Volvo's interior.

[Mally]

Being quite honest, I like it.  But I'd worry about selling it. 

[Pete-M]

If you'd buy it, someone else would.

 

I know a chap with a black Corniche convertible with a very similarly hued interior.

[mercrocker]

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]

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.

[Junkman]

Mango.

 

Thread can be closed.

[Dippy]

Beautiful cars but arnt they a alloy over steel tube body, that would send a shiver down my spine if any rust started to come through.

[Supernaut]

Three words.

 

Get it bought!

[Station]

That looks a nice colour, makes a change from the black/grey on today.

[eddyramrod]

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?

[doobietoo]

Not at all..... it is of its time and suits the car perfectly.....

[Braddon81]

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!

[Fabergé Greggs]

It's perfect. Get it bought already.

[inconsistant]

Swoon!

[oldcars]

That's class, when do you collect it?

[Guest Breadvan72]

The car is WINTABULOUS.  I am too common and povvo to have a Bristol.  Class envy!

[cort1977]

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]

It used to be the case that Bristol would not sell you a car if you had bought your own furniture.

[richardmorris]

Wasn't that Alan Clark on heseltine or heseltine on someone else?

[Guest Breadvan72]

It was the long nosed Patrician Clark slagging off Heseltine for being a self made man.    Verdict: snobby git.

[Sigmund Fraud]

The only bit that would stop me from buying that Bristol (or, in fact, any Bristol) is the price.
