I’m sure you’re fascination with the wood dash is to make up for lack of wood elsewhere Fred :poke:

I like it, but then I loved my old Rover and Vanden Plas interiors. Each to their own though.

Done properly on the right car in the right location it looks great. Was looking at a new RR drophead in Puerto Banus yesterday and it looked awesome. Dash, doors centre, rear deck, etc. Harked back to the Riva launches and suited it way better than cf or ss.

I was thinking something similar, jeeper.

On a rainy day in England with the roof up it just doesn't make sense. However, sparkling clean, roof down and parked outside a posh waterside cafe in the Mediterranean I think it would have a certain charm to it. It's definitely one of those things that needs everything else to be exactly right to make it work.

What is the obsession with being like everyone else tho? Good on someone if they like it, sod anyone else’s thoughts, you don’t buy a car for someone else!
