Seems cars either have cloth (depressing "ard-tahmes" sounding) or freezing-in-winter, clammy-in-summer, slidey-in-bends, cracks-with-age leather. Full teddy bear is a thing of the past.
Looking at a beautiful GTV thinking the velour is a big part of the appeal, looks very inviting and properly "period".
Here's the GTV i wont buy cos have no second garage and dont need another car really, but it has those magic four words "N&BR" that make me giddy with car buying lust.

Post your classic and neo-classic velour car pics here with pride......here's that £6k GTV..... tongue out

Stunning. Although the wing looks a different colour, perhaps photo's angle?

Is that a technical term? What does that mean exactly? Is it an Italian expression?

"Hard times" in a, presumably, comedy accent. N&BR has me baffled, though.

Nice GTV.

Correct / comedy Yorkshire attempt which seems to have failed.

One car always springs to my mind when velour interiors are talked about, the Fiat 130 Coupe, magnificent in orange or blue!
