Interesting 'exclusive' interior...

Post by kmpowell » Thu Oct 18, 2012 10:01 am

From the outside all is well...

... but step inside and things, I feel, just don't quite suit...

I normally like grey with red, but that berry red doesn't really do it for me.

And to put a positive twist on it: maybe there's a bargain to be had.

I'm sure the owner loved it when he ordered it and knew full well that the colour choice might hamper future resale - seems harsh to knock it on the forum just because of their personal taste? Bear in mind that if the car's otherwise a good 'un, you can get a very good quality standard re-trim done (including door cards) for around a grand, so there may be a bargain lurking where some just see Ribena seats....

That shade goes well with daytona. I love it, except for the door cards... not a fan of those.

Possibly, but with 77k on the clock and a screen price at £20k on a private sale, the car's already sat just over the top of the market price bracket. So even if you batted the person down on screen price, you'd still haver to factor in a minimum £1k fora re-trim and also the inconvenience of not having your car for a week whilst the car is away being done.

I agree - quite like the seats, but black door cards would be better.

No, I think those seats were actually red, these are cherry.

You know what, I prefer them to red. I do think berry looks good.
Been there and done that.
