Have you ever had a car with a green interior?

[Six-cylinder]

I spotted this lovely Mercedes W114 for sale with a striking green interior. 

I have once owned an Audi A6 with a green interior and really liked it.

Have you ever had a car with a green interior? Have you a picture to show me please.

[Missy Charm]

I had a Nissan Bluebird many years ago, which I'm sure had a greenish tint to some of the interior plastics.  It was a sort of greeny-grey, from memory.  No photos, though.

[sierraman]

No, but you used to see Vauxhall Royales sometimes with a green velour interior. Must have been lovely to waft about in listening to Captain and Tenille in one of those. 

[eddyramrod]

Yes.  And for some reason I can't find a photo of it right now, but it was my green 1962 Cadillac.  And it was lovely.

Also, the 1964 Corsair and 1965 Cortina my parents owned both had green interior.

[JakeT]

I have. I owned a 2000 BMW 328ci between 2017 and 2019 with a ‘mint green’ cloth interior. I loved it, possibly one of my favourite car interiors I’ve owned.

My '73 SaaB 99  and my '65 MG Magnette both had green interiors, the MG's being greener than when it left the factory 'cause of mold. 

No pictures though. (If I did have photos, they would likely have been monochrome because colour was much more expensive back then)

I own one with a green interior now my 1982 Audi 80.

[Lanciaman]

Had a couple of Lancia Kappa coupes but  neither had the green interior options... Few did! 

[wuvvum]

I had a Saab 900 with a green velour interior.  Can't immediately find any photos though.

[Jim Bell]

I've had a couple. 

A green Oxford with a green interior and a green 340 with a green interior. Can only find snaps of the more interesting one ATM.

That purple Austin 1100 I had was fitted with green leather seats taken from a Wolseley version.

[barefoot]

I had an Audi 200T with that spectacularly chintzy velour fabric interior in green.

A CD5E in Green

A 200T in blue

Best I can do for pics, but I've still got the standard scatter cushions lurking about somewhere!

[Ghosty]

My 740 GLE had green velour seats and door card inserts that were specific to Silver Green GLEs (most other colours of GLE got black, grey, or sometimes red leather - except blue which got blue velour, which I've never seen). Though they're not officially green, they're supposedly grey. 

[Wgl2019]

Also a Merc...

All so green.

[PhilA]

One time, but it all cleaned off quite nicely.

[iainrcz]

My boss at work had a rover 400 Monza or something, it had green leather.

[aldo135]

I had a metallic green ‘84 MK2 cavalier with amazing green velour and green dashboard, circa year 2000. I was constantly told by pals how deeply unfashionable it was but I loved it, suCh a nice place to sit! Obviously rusty 🙈 but drove really well and got me to college though my apprenticeship. Can’t find a picture but it was very much like this monza, just a bit narrower and minus the wood…

[meggersdog]

I too had a Mk2 green Cavalier , a diesel hatchback, with green interior. That was early 1990's

like this

[Macscrooge]

My bright yellow Peugeot 104 had green cloth inserts on the seats. DVLA said the paintwork was green….

[ETCHY]

A had a 105E Anglia with a green interior, it was in luxurious vinyl..
Just the thing on a hot summers day !

[Jim Bell]

Green interior in a Volvo 340.

I forgot I have this Vauxhall Royal that has been fitted with green seats.

One day we need to clean it out and see if we can get it started.

Vauxhall (well, GM in general) and Mercedes have got to be two of the kings of colour coding where interiors is concerned.  80s Audi and Saab also get honourable mentions.

Never had a car with a green interior, very blue Saab but not a green one yet.

I did try to buy (several times) a Buick Century that a friend up north had, that had a VERY green interior.  Seats, carpet, steering wheel, headlining, mats, sun visors, dash top, door cards, seatbelts...all green.

Still kinda kick myself for not just coughing up what he was asking for it, as I've driven few cars I just liked from the perspective of being an utterly comfortable way to waft across intercontinental distances with utter ease as much as that one.

As for the colour coding...image borrowed from Google, picture this, but green.

Had 2 Panda Sergio Tacchinis - interiors are really very green:

Forgot that!  My folks had a 1993 Panda 1000 back around 2002-3 which had a similarly green theme going on.

Panda Fizz I believe. Nice.👍

We should start a funky colour interior thread. GM loved interesting interiors in the 70s/80s. Green, red, orange, blue…. Lovely!!

Correct!

Cracking little car, one I sorely miss.

That interior looks very much like the 1980 Century I had, except my interior was gold, the car having been gold from new before it was painted black (long before I got it).  It was ridiculously plush.  I'd certainly have another one.

That would be right, think that style ran through to 1989 or thereabouts.

Plush, but in an oh-so-American tacky and absolutely "you're trying waaaaaay too hard" way...but resulting in a car that's roughly the size of a Ford Sierra (if not slightly smaller) that's damned near as comfortable as any big luxobarge to actually travel in.

Well...so long as you don't want to wind down the rear windows anyway...

I've never driven a Buick I didn't like...though not sure I could ever bring myself to buy one from the 90s as they got so bloody ugly then!

Nearly bought several, the one I probably kick myself the most for missing though was the blue diesel one I saw up for sale a few years ago locally.  Procrastinated too long and someone beat me to it.
