Green, red, orange, blue…. Lovely!! We have cars in colour, let's see your colourful interiors I loved the red interior in my Escort Ghia but in a time of film cameras, never took a pic, so a video screen grab is the best I can do MJK 24, sutty2006 and Shite Ron 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Hmm. I've owned plenty of cars with silly exterior colours, but life inside all my cars has been a sea of greys and blacks, mostly. The E36 323i I have right now is probably one of the best coloured interiors I've had: GrumpiusMaximus and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 A few worthy of mention I think... The coffee and caramel theme of my BX continues as much inside as out. My parents had a Fiat Panda Fizz back around 2002 or so which was very green both inside and out. A Mercedes S123 with a very blue interior - which I think was an absolutely spot on contrast to the wood trim. Similar shades were the general theme in my much missed Saab 900. Few years before that one I had an earlier one which was as brown as that one was blue. Didn't have that one very long so tend to forget about it. Finally the Cavalier that I'll finally be in a position to take delivery of in the next few weeks is rather colourful. Think aside from those it's been the usual sea of grey and black. The Jag was beige on beige but wasn't really colourful in the spirit of this thread I think. I'd still take it over black which most of them I'd been in before were any day of the week though.

Spiny Norman Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Never managed green or red unfortunately but a 5 series and a Volvo 240 have had blue interiors, and of course the caramac velour-fest in the 70s Vauxhall.

Have since seen it on eBay for 5 grand with a respray and the holes in the roof seemingly repaired. Still has an advisory list as long as the car itself though….

ETCHY Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Great thread I think that's one of the biggest issues with moderns, the interiors are often shit, they're generally just boring bloody black sometimes relieved by wanky mood lighting with a crappy digital display stuck somewhere. I like funky colours, velour or snazzy fabrics, colour keyed trim, maybe the odd bit of wood trim. It's time manufacturers got an imagination again !

Nothing looks too serious in the advisories but seems to be something odd about the mileage from previous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayMK Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 'My' 1988 Stellar Gold Medal Edition which I had to let go in 2017 had a lovely homely beige interior. The next one is my 1961 Reliant Regal MKVI. Its interior is certainly colourful but also extremely basic. A Peugeot 205 which we had a few years ago had a streak of colour here and there which brightened up the drab grey.
