Is nice.... but...leather - check
aluminium - check
oh hell lets have wood too...
and a belt...
Agreed. The belt is a tacky retro add-on and the wood is perhaps a little out of place. But you are suggesting these and the wood and aluminum are a 'cliche'. So what would you suggest as a contemporary material (and don't say carbon fibre)?aluminium - check

Not stirring, just genuinely interested in peoples thoughts on this.
Is it just me then that thinks Pagini have lost the plot here a bit... old style wooden steering wheel + metal/leather buckle on glovebox..
Then polished Aluminium bespoke switch gear sat on purest 21st century carbon fibre...prettied up with quilted red leather...
are there any other tricks/materials, surfaces that can be added to this mix?

So that leave aluminium and unpainted plastic then? Or are you harking back to the days of vinyl and velour?
all panels can be trimmed and it's more resiliant compared to highly polised surfacesthe Zonda has a mix of to many different materials (leather, tree, aluminium, carbon) which makes it look like a mess especially with the red quilting - look around the gearstick, from top to bottom you've got all 4 within 15cm of each other
why have wood for the tactile bits?
the centre dash console and handbrake cowling don't need to be carbon - they look very much an afterthought
ETA - I'd hate to image what the glare/reflection is like on the winscreen from the dashtop carbon

its the reason why i generally dislike TVR interiors
they are over-designed, over-fashioned and contain way too much bulls
t factor
they do kind of look impressive but in terms of actually owning one, i'd feel a bit embarrased and out of place
Have flicked through the pages but don't think we've had a Griffith yet ?! they are over-designed, over-fashioned and contain way too much bulls

I appreciate that with some of the more modern TVR interiors you either love'em or hate'em, but I've always thought that the Griff interior was a subtle take on a classic dash layout. I'm biased I know, but you couldn't say that the Griff interior is as Jackal has described it ?

this looks nice, never heard of the car though a custom made italian supercar with a motorbike engine.
What do you find nice about it? the mismatching leather? the up to the minute info screen just above the 30's inspired stick on Aluminium.... or maybe the ceiling instruments from Fast and the Furious... its a good effort, but again, they've gone to the 'interior bin of materials and looks' and just used everything in it...IMO
