Is this a deliberate option with all V12V's to protect resale value's confused

I would personally go for non-black even if the exterior is black or grey smile

If red CF was available at the time I might have been tempted, that said my car was actually a dealer spec car (thanks to JCT600 for having more b*lls than the average dealer when speccing cars), I can't say that I had any option or input to dash colour. I just went to view the car on the spur of the moment after a posting here on PH ( read the thread for the full story), and bought it as it was perfect for me.

All that said my previous V12V was meteorite with a black interior and whilst I really loved it, I am so much happier with the Morning Frost White + half Chancellor Red interior combo that I would not look back now. I am pretty sure that all my cars from now on will be a little more on the wild side when it comes to colour combos.

It is now 18ths on, and I still love my car, which considering I'm on my 25th car in 26 years of car ownership, and I am now 18mths into ownership and not even slightly looking for the next one, must show how content I am! smile

I remember see ing your car at Jct, Adam and its without doubt the most striking interior I've seen. Don't think it would have been so effective in leather sports seats though.

I wanted a splash of red and seeing Adam's persuaded me to do it. Eleven hundred quid later "Tandoori Express" was created. I think I may have posted the pics once or twice before. I would post them again but sadly I'm on the iPad and am focused on the glass of white that needs drinking drink

I like that Nick.

But forgive me for saying, it may just be the picture, but the stiching on the door card, in the last picture looks terrible, it's all over the place.

Keith it is nowhere near as bad in real life but it also isn't perfect. Hand made I suppose and I was so happy with the whole effect I didn't care. From memory works service wanted £6k
