I'm planning a retrim of my cooper green magnolia hide Griff and was just going to go with magnolia again but I stumbled across this and like it too:

What colour is the leather in this?

It does say Fawn...here's a better bunch of pictures. Also I'm sure i've seen it called Doeskin? (unless that's another shade too)

Biscuit would look good on a green car.

Saxon - The latest issue (238) of Evo magazine features the Bespoke car and its interior in a Griffith buying guide. There are some photos of the fawn interior there.

It looks the same colour as mine which is called doeskin on the original order (half leather in my case)

Personally I like a darker brown - almost chocolate or mocha. If I got my Moonraker Black Griffith re-trimmed, that's my choice

I think that one up there is fawn. Mine's Cooper Green with grey/green - if I ever retrimmed it I think a darker colour is my favourite, maybe with wood. This is stunning..

Or with black I reckon I'd go full DKR with an engine turned dash..

Saxon,
The colour is doeskin, this was a Jag leather colour. I know as this was my Griffith for the last 20 years.

Thanks Mike - lovely colour and lovely car - sorry to hear you're selling after such a long time, you must have bought yours about the same time I bought mine. I ended up nearly selling it as a project car for someone but in fact have ended up spending a fortune on it to bring it up to scratch. The last bit of the jigsaw is the retrim but the quotes I've had are expensive. TeamCentral seem to do as lot of trim work but it's basically £3700 for a complete retrim and that excludes the hood and that's not even the most expensive quote I have had...

I'm just trying to figure out what colours to go for. It's cooper green and magnolia at present. I'm tempted to stick with something very similar although doing the dash in a dark colour is tempting to get rid of the awful reflections from the dash top on wooded country lanes - the trouble is I think the paler colour around the dash looks better.

Anyway are you moving on to something else interesting?

Polarised glasses get rid of most reflections. Alternatively, something less reflective? ie suede/flocked efffect?

Hi Saxon,
Yes sad to see it go as it was my long term keeper but I traded the Griffith in for a 435i GC as I needed something a bit more practical. The Griff has Ohlins suspension and if you look closely you can see that it has the factory manifolds without O2 sensors (open circuit) and no cats.
Hope you get your trim sorted.
Mike

Are you looking at a more traditional outside colour and interior keeping the walnut dash or something a little brighter perhaps with a machined turned or carbon dash? smile
