I like this colour, but how will it affect the value come resale time?

Olive green with blue wheels and interior - never seen that before. Green looks nice in real life but does blue and green work together?

Agree, green actually seems to suit the car quite well. But, the contrasting blue interior just doesn't work.

I like it.

Would need to see it in the metal, but looks good to me and a lot of car for the money.

I dont think that will affect resale value at all. Its greyish. Most buyers like greyish.

I've seen this car in the flesh parked up in Mayfair. First thing that sprung to mind was it must have been specced by someone from abroad. Nothings changed my mind about it looking average seeing it again today, It needs a full retrim in black, green or tan hence would want the cost of a retrim off the rrp.

I'd be more worried if the engine really is a 3.6.

Tan interior would be nice! What'll that cost?

Personally I love the exterior and think it looks interesting with the interior, but then again, I am from "abroad" wink

Looks purposeful, military.

I think that a black interior would have made it too uninteresting, and a tan one would spoil the mil-spec look by giving it the opposing air of luxury.

All things considered I don't think it's bad at all, it stands out without standing out, so to speak. Nice, I would not discount it at all based on the colour, perhaps the contrary.

I like the interior colour. I like the exterior colour (although perhaps not the blue wheels). Whether they go together is a personal judgement. If I was in the market for such a car, I might be tempted.

I guess that this is a one off colour combination?

I wonder why no one has specced this combo before? I think that I like it but I can't be sure that I'm the only one out there who would be brave enough to buy it over a more regular and popular combination.

Same as clothes, 'blue and green should not be seen without a colour in between. '

Not one for me I'm afraid but if YOU like it thats all that matters.
IMHO resale value will be effected as you will narrow your potential buyers market but then if you buy cheap you can afford to sell cheap
