What 's the opinion on roof colour?

There is this lovely Merlot E85 just up the road from me.
It has slowly slipped in price over the last few months but still no interest.
I can only assume it is due to the roof colour?

My heart is trying to overcome the resistance in my head (aided by some goading from a couple of members on here

)
I actually like it, but it would be a short term, do up, run a while then sell on. I'm worried the tan roof would prevent the 'sell on' part of the equation, no matter how much I improved the mechanicals etc.
I know it's rare, but rare does not always equal desirable.
Would like to hear some opinions?

Have you not got a black roof and interior in your garage or has Stuart

Then it will looks a lot better.

I will have a black roof coming up for sale hopefully in the next few months!

What colour are you swapping too?
Blue?

If the silver arrival turns into a breaker you can get first dibs?

Would there be any of the standard car colours that the beige top would suit more??

Maldives or a darker blue?

You’re not helping me resist are you?

Can't you dye the roof black?

Personally I like the tan roofs especially on a merlot and white Z.

I've seen that advertised for a while and I think the guy deals in cars. The price does seem good now with the Msports speats.

I am SO tempted. But need to sell the 3.0i and would still have the new 4-pot daily on the drive with wifey's 2.5i.

Merlot and tan is a really fine combo IMO, something you won't see every day.

from me!

Wonder why it's not selling then?
Honestly, if I wanted a keeper it would be here by now.

I think that roof goes well with Merlot. What would actually put me off is the extended beige interior. Swapping the centre consoles for black would help a lot, though preferably all the beige interior...

I’d say it’s a mix of poor presentation and time of the year.
Roof needs a good clean to lot a lot better, but the interior looks knackered, especially the handbrake and drivers seat. But cream leather doesn’t always photograph well - a deep clean and feed, paint the wheel rims silver rather than body colour, a good polish and some decent photos and that will sell easily once the sun comes out.

Offer him £2k, what’s the worst that could happen?
