Apologies for being a contrarian but that is one ugly interior yes

We do coffin interiors with the >exact< same style quilting.

I'm not even keen on the exterior tbh frown

No great issue with the quilting per se - as I say we use a fair bit of it.

It's the purple I don't get. I don't even like the purple hue to the exterior. Anyone that's seen a casino royale car up close will know what I mean - it's basically lilac frown

Yes plain, dreary black leather would have been far better...

Thought you would have liked the purple, or does it clash with your shell suit? tongue out

Also, i'm sorry but anyone fortunate enough to be able to buy something like that and then only does 144 miles in two years needs a stern talking to (putting it mildly) in my opinion nono
I heard that Prince is too busy these days to drive his cars much.

The black interiors are classic looking - I quite like the creams too.

The last time I saw a dash that colour I was 17 and I had just vomitted pernod all over it yes

In the flesh, that exterior colour is stunning.

And if you want a contrast to the lighter colours for the interior, I can see why the purple might be seen to work better than black or dark brown, but the interior purple is I agree, something of an acquired taste

I like it but not at that premium, I too initially thought Vanquish the price.

It's funny how in photos cars with adventurous interiors look really horrible, then in real life they also look really horrible.

I saw a Ceramic Grey V12VS Roadster in Park Lane a few weeks ago. That had black lightweight wheels and an interior in a very dark burgundy colour, not sure which one, but it was very nice.

I don't disklike it in the lightweights and in context of the overall interior. I would not have paid extra for it though smile

Quite possibly Iron Ore, which everyone who has seen one has described as burgundy.

I really disliked the quilted interiors until I actually saw one in the flesh. They look much much better smile

Given I also have brown (Bitter Choc) lightweights, I may be biased, but I love this.

I think the quilting looks great - nice one Jonby.
