I like the interior on VO but prefer a single colour vehicle although if it was the right car / spec etc. I would have one with a black roof

I've conducted a taste test this afternoon and can confirm it is nothing like marmite.

When I first saw the interior in the one I bought on the video sent to me by the garage, I thought it looked a bit "boy racerish". Too much orange leather and as said, the additional orange stripe on the seats and stitching. When I saw the whole package in the flesh, it all looked right to me. Not to everyone's taste perhaps but we can't all be perfect can we?

Yes 100% agree with that.
It would be a boring old world If we all wanted the same colour - and old pal hated silver cars with a passion!

There is something I really don't like about that car, but can't put my finger on what. The MOT history is actually pretty good but I just don't like it. It has a very recent MOT, so the reflectors either were removed recently or he/she has a very friendly tester!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
