Hello. Back, hopefully into TVR owners club soon, after a year without one, and previously driving a Chimera. Now a Tuscan is on the cards, and having seen a few black ones around I think I smitten. Only question now is interior colours. I'd be interested to see other black tuscan owners interior colour options. Plus any exterior pics to confirm my choice. Please post away. Thanks.

Quite a few people seam to like the full-on black interior with their black cars but i think this just looks too oppresive (IMHO!!), i'm just not a fan of dark interiors. A few months ago i saw a black Tuscan S in Drivestyle in Harrogate and this had a stunning dark red (mulberry) full leather interior, it looked perfect, and i've also seen black cars with a contrasting magnolia hide / black carpet combination which also looks great.....

Hiya,

Black is beautiful, when clean and polished, but does show the dirt more, than some other lighter car colours. The red leather is striking and receives a lot of admiration. Will take a few photos over the weekend if dry of the interior for you.

I think magnolia or tan looks lovely with black.

would love to see one with brown leather.

red is also really nice.

not a fan of grey.

I think all black interior with a black car is to much.
personally I would go with a lighter leather interior such as seats,tunnel trim etc in say light grey, magnolia or red as in the above picture and then have black carpet with matching trimming, this really lets the seats and tunnel and trimmings stand out.

i think the red trim might be too much contrast for me. could do with a softer colour inside. more pics please?

Full red is too much (IMHO) - have a look at my car. Navy blue with red inserts, I think it's a great mix

Black is beautyful :-) It's my favorite choice... its pure, reduced and noble. Have a look: http://web.mac.com/nextarea/iWeb/Blac

I've got a Tuscan S Convertible in Moonraker Black. The interior I've gone for is Black and Portland Grey which I think looks great....but I would say that wouldn't I.

If I could work out how to post pics I would, but I can't!! Help anyone?

Hi

Been trying to keep away - sorry, but Moonraker black with black interior - fabulous . Unfortunately I wasn't allowed anthracite wheels....

Works really well, and will always look classic.

Just my 2p

Has got to be Portland Grey with black seat inserts. Just 2 colours then, very simple but very classy IMO (black and silver/light grey always look great together). My dream colour combo.

Not to garish either, so should you have to part with it at some point it's less likely to put buyers off.
