Well, it was 1st April......

Love the exterior colour, (like my old one), and the interior, just not together!

Great ad tho

Looks quite nice to me. I like the silver and chestnut combo - although I find it hard to tell difference between chestnut and tan leather
I don't think chestnut / walnut go together well, that's why mine is now tan / black ash ( got rid of walnut )

"everything you could dream of"? :? what, like an over-priced 10-year old 406 with a Tango'd interior at too many miles on the clock? :roll:

I don't like the Leather on that one - looks like someone's done that themselves :|

I like the colour scheme. Doggy knows that I loved the colour of his old one & the tan interior looks great to me. Probably the best way to have a non-black leather interior without having to panic about dirty footprints on the beige carpet.

However, 2 things stop me being interested in buying that one:

1. As Doggy says it's well overpriced. Needs to have about 20k less miles at that price or the same miles for at least £600-1000 less.

2. A grey 7 seat conversion would look ridiculous against the tan seats when they were put up.

I'm still not sure if I like it or not, it looks a bit plasticky in the pics but in real "lick me I'm made out of cow" life I'd think it's rather groovy.
