Blue, sandstorm or two tone?

[niggtv]

I'd appreciate any views on what would have widest appeal on resale out of these 3 interior choices - would all be versions of baltic blue and sandstorm, so the pics below are just illustrations of the general style - ignore the detail of the pics.

I don’t need to bore you with why I’ve got these 3 options, but resale is a consideration for me in this decision, as I'm probably going to replace the car again at the end of 2019 (with a new Vantage....stone me!):

1) All blue
2) Sandstone seats & door card inserts
3) Two tone blue/sandstone







Thanks in advance...

No 3

I personally prefer the plain blue. In fact I prefer a traditional interior colour and if you are looking at resale, then its what would appeal to the wider audience. Two tone is very personal.

3 for me.

It may, of course depend on your exterior colour but I would choose no. 2, elegant without being OTT ( would say that as it’s what I have 🙂 ).

No 3.

I like the idea of 3 but fear it might be a bit too Mansory, so would probably pick number 2.
(Number 1 wouldn't get a look in, sorry to any number 1 owners.)

No. 2 for me

My Mako Blue V8 Roadster originally had all Baltic Blue interior.
I commissioned a local trimmer to add some cream inserts - don't ask me the exact colour but it matches the hood interior and the windscreen surround.
All personal taste but I love my new colour scheme

I would probably go with number 1, 3, and then 2

Would love #2

3 for me

Thanks very much for the replies so far. Must admit, I was expecting all blue to have the widest appeal, and two tone to be least popular. I keep flitting between options, but so far:

Blue: 2
Blue/sandstone: 4
Two tone: 5

Best thing to do is go and view some cars that are not cleaned up for sale and see how the cream looks after use? It looks lovely when clean and new, but I have seen a few cars with cream leather and when the leather creases, dark fold lines start to appear, which are most noticeable in lighter colours.

Darker colours tend to hide it better - esp on the side bolsters

Also, if you look at cream, it tends to show it's age earlier imho - if you have a look at cars for sale on the trade auction websites you will see what I am talking about.

If you are happy to clean and feed the leather regularly then maybe you don't care and then it becomes a simple choice of what you prefer the look of - at the end of the day - the forum users don't have to sit in it every day - you will

I wouldn't normally pick a blue interior but I really like no3 so that would be my vote

Never been a fan of two-tone interiors to be honest. I like the full Sandstorm, which would look great with the blue exterior.

Despite what anyone says the light interiors are not difficult to maintain unless you're seriously messing them up, which is unlikely.

Mine is Cream Truffle and it's not an issue at all.

Sand storm and black.. So number 3.. not that I am biased ;-)

But in all seriousness was one of the reason to draw me to the one I bought

If you wear real indigo dyed dark blue jeans then stay away from lighter colours on the seat base.

I would have to go 1 as I couldn't keep the others looking good.
