Rolls Royce did some absolute club banger interiors in the 70s-90s. I'm talking mainly about these velour ones with deep and unique colours.

Please post any fascinating interiors be they spectacularly dull, luxurious or unique.

Porsche in the 90s/00s allowed pretty much any colour combinations that you fancy if you paid them enough. So you got some right wacky interiors.

I remember @cort16 remarking that this must be what being an inside of a toothpaste tube is like. The wood trim on the wheel really sets it off a treat.

Not sure if this is stock though. Possibly the purple bits are.

Even the Boxster concept car had a pretty gaudy interior colour combination

I'll go for the obvious one, the Rover 200 BRM. Quilted red leather? In a Rover 200? Madness.

Audi S8 D2s came with some pretty cool colours. I saw some purple ones like this for sale, a few dug dick red ones and some green ones.

Some bonus ones:

MK1 twingo. I love some exposed, uninsulated metal on my doors.

Winner for me is the seats in the Metro 1.3S, especially in green as in the brochure (Which I can't find a picture of), so here is some in brown.

The Merc W126 range came with some pretty funky velour options. Ribbed, for extra pleasure.

Rover P5 I think.

TVR Tamora. Probably made up of whatever they had laying around the floor of the trim shop at the time.8a69f115c1764511edfc38f08608c371.jpg

Not quite as squishy, but still available into the 21st century.  Cadillac Deville.
Hardly ever seen with cloth outside Japan. .83EC89D1-6CD4-482E-9479-C69052DFA214.jpeg.7aab1c30368b199904e1a33777757e40.jpeg 
 

Ford F150. The perfect truck cab, calm and comfy.

BMC at it’s best,  Riley 4/72. Took my driving test sat there.

Yeah, purple and red are Final Edition S8 only sold in the UK. These were specced by the dealer and also came with the extended leather package. I don't know what the hell they were thinking picking these colors but they are rare cars.

Also shameless self plug, the glorious brown interior of the Corona:

On a similar note to Cheggers, the delightfully restrained TVR Tuscan. I also like the utter and complete lack of ergonomics, presumably due to having to have the transmission in the car with you.

I quite enjoyed the sea of blue velour in that Saab 9000 I had a couple of years ago.

The walnut sideboard posing as a dashboard really set the whole thing off, too.

I suppose 70s custom vans ruled the roost for outlandish interiors/serial killer chic.

Behold!

On a more modern note... Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo edition, 2014-2018. Only available with this interior:

... it's what made me go for the Colour Edition when I bought my Fabia,rather than the Monte Carlo. Despite the latter's superior spec, I didn't want to pay ££££ for a car only for it to look like it has Poundland seat covers that can't be removed. Thankfully the 2019 facelift gave the MC edition some more normal interior options. This interior looks OK-ish with a red car, but looks absolutely shite with any other colour. :D

The original design for the Rover 75 interior was ostensibly unchanged if you ticked the Personal Line colour options.

Only available for a few years after launch it manages to look busy and fluid at exactly the same time.

This Neptune one is a pre-launch car.

I’d have loved this 220 interior when I messed about with the mk3 mondeos.

I always loved the shotgun wood and engraved door handles in the Holland and Holland edition Range Rover....

I must be a bit of a chav. I keep looking at these and thinking... actually I quite like that.

No I'm the same, the interior on the prototype Boxter is stunning. That was 1993 as well.

And the one I really wanted, a6 Allroad Java brown interior. Mmmm

My production Boxster has that colour interior (or very similar)

Knowing TVR it's probably the door handle or the bonnet release.

Probably for an adjustable lumbar support. I used to work in an office where there was a same thing on the office chairs.
