#1 Interior retrim colour?

Post by Bigcatfrankie » Sun Apr 14, 2019 5:48 pm

I am at the stage where I am about to commence re-trimming the interior of my Signal Red 2+2. The interior at present is Biscuit but when the car was exported new to New York in 1970, according to the Heritage Certificate, the body was Pale Primrose and the interior was Black. I had intended to re-trim the car in Black but having read Ross Wilson's 3 part article, concluding in the Nov.'18 magazine, I wondered whether it would look smarter in (Light) Grey. This would be a non-standard colour combination, ie. Signal Red with a Grey interior. What do people think?
