Not sure about the red layout...
It looks a bit too much obstrusive

much too dark and opressive...

Black with Black interior is stylish and understated IMHO ... Very personal choice though.

I actually quite like that too! My 350i was very similar, black with a black interior and looked good!

It's looks fine on a Tuscan, but remember the roof doesn't come off on the T350 and it will be quite dark inside. Think this may effect the resale. Portland with black looks the most bright and best match without being to loud like the red interior, which is just.. That would look OK on a Silver car but black? I don't think so....

And it would get quite hot in there without being able to remove the roof...

Very nearly bought a Black Griffith with Portland and Black and must say I was very taken with it. It does look the business !

Black and Black is not as easy to sell on as said previously, it is very personal.

OK slight compromise....Gunmetal with Black Interior

Thom. Air con. No-one with half a brain would order a fixed head TVR without air con. Especially a T350 as the heat soak from the S6 engine would be horrendous.

Having been in a 4.2 Cerberra in France in reasonable temps when the air con belt broke I can vouch for the absolute necessity to have aircon in a FHC TVR ...

Sure, I don't doubt this.
But you wouldn't let the air con on when you leave the car in a sunny car park in the middle of summer, would you?
Anyway black leather keeps heat and can make one sweat terribly even with the air con on.
(in my experience)

Get your drift now Thom... you're right I had a car with black leather once and it was terrible when left in the Sun..
