I've really gone off the Black on Black with Black wheels & Sun Protection Glass look, there is nothing to break up the car and add definition.

Maybe i'm just getting old, but i'd much prefer it with silver wheels and some chrome trim!

On the plus side, looks like it is #067 which was the only B5 BiTurbo in Ruby Black

I feel your pain as I feel the same

Not sure on the chrome trim (too Morris Marina), but otherwise yes.

Saw this car in Notts when it was new. It's lovely, but too black.

You're probably right on the chrome trim Ade, but as you say it's too black currently.

Maybe a quick retrim in Imola Red leather with black highlights would do the trick!

Now then,

Love a red interior, as long as that doesn't include the dashboard......

Definitely not, one of my pet-hates a red dash. I would've had red leather in my F32 if you didn't have to have the red lower dash too.

Instead I ended up with Oyster w Black

It's quite a conundrum with the colour extending to the dash. Thankfully not Porsche-like with their tendency for EVERYTHING being the same colour: a lot of colour if beige or red are chosen

I'd forgotten about Porsche's red-everything interior. Grim!
