Yummy. I love the interior - not too dark, not too gaudy, very inoffensive. Exterior colour is lovely too.

How come you've got to wait until 21st?

I've got my eyes on 2 Targas now ... just need to wait and make sure I'm not made redundant next Tuesday then go see what I can get them for. Fingers crossed.

Dealer wanted 10 days to 'prepare' vehicle, so as I wanted to collect it on a friday (to have all weekend to get used to it a bit), 21st seemed obvious date.

Longest 2 weeks ever. But worth the wait.

Better prepare yourself for some long sleepless nights! I remember my pre-delivery days and it was the longest 8 weeks of my life!! I could say it will be worth it but that only makes the wait even harder!

you mean bland and boring?
i don't mean to be rude,and i know you didn't spec the car,but for a car as outrageous as a tvr to have grey carpets with a two tone grey interior is very unimaginative indeed and reminds me of the clothes my grandad wears!
but hey,you'll be having far too much fun driving to be bothered about that!

that wasn't very nice Cap'n!

Better grey than purple with yellow, or some of the other 'tart's handbag' combos one sees.

edit: oh btw hobo, CONGRATULATIONS! She looks a beaut. I've just heard that my resprayed T350 won't be back with me until the end of the month, so I will join you in your agonising wait.

To be honest I wasn't sure about the interior from the picture, but when I went down to have a look I really liked it.

I know its not everyone choice (girlfriend hates it), but I honestly don't care because no-one else is driving it.

As for the exterior, never had a red car before, but do think the colour suits the lines of the car, and people will no doubt see it approaching at great speeds in thier rear view mirror*.

*that is when I have bottle to do so, as the car's capabilities did actually rather scare me a little during the test drive

Nah, I love grey interiors. I find Magnolia seriously horrid (I know most people like it), and black is too morbid and dark.

Good choice Hobo, I was looking at that car before getting my tarts handbag, thank goodness the cheap scent is masked by the odour of glue
Are you getting a dog guard for the huskies?

Absolutely nothing wrong with that interior, we have almost the same spec on our T350c it looks sophisticated, NOT bland & boring. I find magnolia bland and boring, but I wouldn't come on a thread and say it to someone who had just bought a car and was getting really excited about it.

So, please share your car and colour combo with us CH, so we can tell you exactly what we think of it I see you are not willing to share your choice with the forum.

i think you've over-reacted a bit there!no need to get all defensive about your taste's mrs fish,and i did say that he would be enjoying the car so much that it wouldn't matter.
my comments weren't meant to be taken in an aggressive manner which is why girlracer and hobo after it were not upset by it.
i've got a full black interior which is definately not everyone's favourite cup of tea.i don't like grey interiors,big deal!
if you wish to tear my choice apart,be my guest.i don't take myself too seriously that i get upset if someone doesn't like my choice!enjoy your car
