Thanks guys
I think it is called Moonstone blue,very pale.When my Dad ordered it in 2003,we were talking about what colour to get(his 2000 90 hdi GLX was also a silver blue shade)i asked him to get it in China blue,as i love that colour & already made my mind up that i would buy the SE after 3 years.I have seen a fair few late SE`s in this colour.
Being in the quarrying industry ,the car & inside can get dirty & dusty,more so being black inside.But i try to give it a good clean inside every month or so,which i did proir to taking these pics.
I do agree that the black & silver inside make it feel a bit more modern.I dont know if the door cards are covered in leather,or "fake" leather,but i prefer them to the fabric door cards.Better to wipe clean also.The only things i would like on the car is a sunroof,as EVERY car i had up to this one has had one,even my previous Xantia had a sunroof & a/c.And i would like the memory function on the front seats too.
On the out side,some of the chrome trim in the bumpers & doors is looking a bit bad now.My Xantia(1997 VSX) was the same.You would have thought over the years they could make trim that does`nt let water under the surface
And the front leading edge of the bonnet is rusting inside to out,which i`ve seen on a few 406`s around 2002 & 2003
Jobs to do this summer,due a service soon,drain & replace anti freeze,replace front discs & pads,replace rocker cover gasket,maybe replace rear shocks as the back end sags a bit more now with the caravan on.
But all round car i`ve had.Although for sheer fun & speed,my brand new Rover 200 Vi i got in 1999 takes some beating
