I'm thinking of a biscuit interior re-trim and wondered if anyone has some pictures they could post and share please? My car is dark blue

My Chimaera is Starmist Blue/ biscuit

I do like the combination,however I've seen some with biscuit interior and then a blue dashboard which I think looks nice too.

There's a few more aerial shots on my profile page.

Perfect. My griff currently has a blue dash and was wondering should I keep it blue or change to match seats. Currently it's magnolia but it's tatty as is the blue sun bleached carpets. In my head I'm thinking stay traditional but otherside says new body colour and funky interior. Traditional is winning at the mo smile

Have you got a good condition wood dash or a new carbon type?

Carbon would probably suit the funky look better,but personally I prefer the wood dash which means I probably also prefer the classic look.
From doing some searching you don't see that many blue exterior/biscuit combinations,and there's different types of biscuit too by the looks of things.
Very Big decision you have there... It's a nice decision to have,but really not an easy one. If I was ordering a brand new Chimaera/Griff today I wouldn't have a clue what color options I would choose.

This is my dilemma. If I go the traditional colours ie star mist blue and biscuit interior with a re veneered wood dash I think it's a car that's easier to sell on if in the future I fancy a change.
My other train of thought is that I have a chance to change the body colour and interior that is a bit more modern so to speak. That path I'm thinking a colour called silk violet which is a grey/blue mauve/purple with perhaps a Portland grey interior with dark grey carpets and either a machined or carbon dash.
If I go with the silk violet it will be a one off colour combo but would it detract from it not being the original build colour if I came to selling it as I have all documents from when the car was new. I've owned it for the last 13 years.
Either way it's kinda exciting to get my griff looking brand new again smile
Below are two sample pictures of silk violet. It's a standard Vauxhall colour

It's been said many times before - paint it to suit you, not the next owner.

Yep, that makes sense and I'm going to go the different colour/interior route. smile

A few shots of my old Griff with biscuit interior which I thought went well with the blue paintwork

Silk Violet looks fantastic on a Griff....... I kept looking at one that was for sale, but it only had 4l engine, and I was desperate for a 4.3.

Fromm memory that had a deep burgundy red interior....... someone called Bernard ended up with it I think..... but seen him about for ages.

As for biscuit... just been through al my photos and realised I don't have any clear photos of the interior, despite it having new carpets and dash fitted so 10 years ago

Not a particularly good picture, but this was the first Griff 500 I owned - Biscuit and Magnolia interior.

I've plumped for a silk violet re-colour now with a Portland grey interior. Not sure on dash yet. Machined stainless or possibly a painted dash in silkviolet or airbrushed and lacquered with a flying Union Jack 🇬🇧.

All the pictures above look like my Cerbera interior which is Butterscotch, with the the exception of Englishman's that does look like biscuit, which I had in the V8S.
