The "Show Me Your Interior" Thread

[Six-cylinder]

I think this trumps an updated 156, I had a 164 super 24v!

[flat4alfa]

Looks lovely!.  Green, but with Blue interior too.  Those funny Italians.

 

Yes a 164 is worth four 156, two 166, but only half a Tagora

1970 Austin Maxi 1750

 

 

 

A bit Italianate in the colour-match department: Limeflower Green exterior, Navy interior. 

 

Bought it as MOT failure, recovered it home.  Had it fixed.  Kept it a year.  Still very much on the show scene

Do you like Brown? Brown all over and everywhere?

 

What you want is the Acclaim you always promised yourself. Kept this one a short while and sold it onto to Trigger of this parish (see page 4). He kept it for 1000% longer than I, though. Come to think of it, the first photo might actually be one of his photos. The Internet is awash with photos of this particular car, anyhow.

How does a 1978 Spint Sud 1.3 we used to have fit into the Alfa scores!

Well that depends if you fancy the 1986 Alfa 33 Green Cloverleaf

 

 

Scrapped the dire body a few years ago, but everything else was saved including the dash itself, all in a lockup.

 

 

Early Sprint every time!

One more Alfa Interior, our current 1983 Giulietta 2.0 is not on the road and needs a bit of work.

 

We also had a 1976 Alfetta 1.6 and a 1982 Giulietta 1.8 but unfortunately I have not got photos.

I'm disappointed that the steering wheel isn't brown.

^ Isn't that the dullest thing?  There's more excitement in a Dacia!  Which says more about VAG/Seat than Dacia...

That Porsche interior is fantastic...Obviously appealed to the same market as the Mercedes of the time which came with some rather lurid Plaid cloth on some models as I recall.  I miss the German carmakers doing things like that...

 

Saw a late Volvo 850 (I think it was anyway, it had been debadged) today which reminded me of one of the favourite options that Volvo offered at the time - which I seem to recall the automotive press absolutely hating.  Which was to have the usual wood (or at least wood effect) trim in place, but using a really light coloured wood rather than the usual dark veneers.

 

I still reckon it looks absolutely fantastic, very much different to the norm, and really brightens up what could have otherwise been a very dull (if exceedingly well executed) interior design.

 

...Seem to recall that was one of the last cars to feature the two-coloured green and amber Lambda warning light on the dash, which as a youngster I found quite fascinating.  Yes, I was a strange kid.

 

Would still like one of those Volvos if I could find one at the right price that wasn't utterly knackered.

[MarvinsMom]

how very mundane my offerings are after those Alfa's above.

 

Marvin the Metro-

it was like this when i bought it

 

Cocopop-

 

Rodney-

Wow, I used to be terrible at taking meaningful photos.

Slightly more room in the back than in a modern Audi TT!

[AlabamaShrimp]

The hight on those Metro sills. Always used to get my feet caught getting in and out of them.

[Amishtat]

1962 Rover 3-litre. Awful yet surprisingly comfortable.

1970 Volvo 164. Just comfortable

1959 Austin A99

1959 Singer Gazelle 111A. Shame about the sun-faded seat, should be the same colour as the door cards.

Mmmmmmm

This thread reminds me why I love cars

[Skizzer]

Here are some of mine:

 

Renault 16

 

Lotus Elite

 

Lancia Gamma Coupe

 

Talbot Matra Rancho

 

Audi 80

 

Jaguar XJ-S HE

 

Rover 3500 (SD1 series 1)

 

Barn find Lancia Dedra (now belonging to Dermist of this parish, and much the better for it)

 

 

Edit: Do you see the recurring theme here? SKIZZERS DON’T DO BLACK INTERIORS. Skoda, I’m looking at you - go build me a fucking beige one LIKE I ORDERED. Tossers.

 

...And calm again.

It's been a year since my last post in this thread so i might as well update it!.

Still reckon that generation of 2/300 series Merc vans had my favourite dash of any commercial vehicle. Something about the general layout and the huge great warning lights that are so purely functional in nature is just right for me.

 

Really need to own one of those vans one day - though I do fear I've missed my chance.

 

I reckon the trim on the engine cowl has probably knocked a good 20% off the noise levels!

[Amishtat]

Pm me, you might not have missed the boat
