Wonder if Austin will be interested in this one.
I just checked his wanted add and he doesn't want red leather.
Thanks for the nod Dan

Red leather isn't high on my wish list, but the rest of the car ticks all the boxes! Will have a chat with the gate keeper tonight re the leather and come back you (non red leather was one of her only requests!) looks a good car to me :thumbsup:

Looks like the red leather is still deal breaker for both of us. Head tells me it's a good buy for the money (Good spec / mileage / forum member) but I can't get my heart to fall for that red leather and I don't want to regret it down the line. Will just have to keep looking,

Good luck with the sale, I am sure it won't stick around for long

There's a few nice ones on car & classics at the moment, I like the red one in particular and nearly went to view it but bought a silver grey one in the end.

If you bought a car with virtually any colour interior other than black you could easily swap with a forum member with their black one.

Agreed a price and put a deposit down on the Interlagos one you tested. Ticked all the boxes for my needs.

Good stuff! It was a really nice car and I am sure you will enjoy it and hopefully I might see you around once I get one sorted. :driving:

you'd get plenty of interest in a interior swap. Red seems very popular

yeah, no offence Austin, but given the rarity of these cars, sometimes you'd be better off just biting the bullet and then doing whatever work you like on the car afterwards. I've got red leather and have to say that, whilst at first I thought I'd drown with all the red in the cabin, having lived with it for a year, I love it. Searching for a unicorn will take a significant period of time and, of course, the cars get older each day. Your choice and all that but an impulse purchase does sometimes work out ok...
Anyway, good luck with the search; W Yorks ///M meet is on the cards when you're (and DPG is) on board.

I just don't get how dealers are managing to sell roadsters at what appear to premium prices for this time of year . I'd be interested to know if a similar phenomenon is going on for other desirable low volume convertibles at the peak of winter ,eg TVRs
