You need an Alfa, then. 147 GTA or 156. Nicest red leather on the "ordinary" market. (Excluding supercars and special orders.)Citroenmad wrote:...Having red lether would be the only reason id pick a car with leather...
Spotted Xantias! (and other French stuff)

Yes, those interiors look fantastic, ive seen quite a few normal 147s with red leather too.
Going away from the French theme, ive noticed there are so many new BMWs in white with red leather around. I did see a white 120i cabrio with PINK leather the other day, I saw it twice. Yuck!
Don't think any PSA cars have had red leather?

Have seen a couple of 607s with reddish/burgundy hide interiors. Likably different, but lacking that boldness of the Alfa insides.
I don't rate BMWs; IMO the company should have been forced to change its name and logo post-1945. Besides, I usually feel like the seats are from that same factory as the old pressed "bucket" tractor perches that were sprung on a quarter ellipse leaf.

Chris, buying a Vel Satis was bizarre enough, do you really expect UK buyers to specify a mad colour interior as well!??
I've caught a few blue and green leather interior Vel Satis' on the market... never seen one with red leather.
Here's the green. Makes it look like an old pub.
I think the 206 CC came with red leather at one point?

Wow, i think i quite like it Its very different, i thought it might be awful but its not, i bet the blue is better?
Id have been ordering my Vel Satis with red leather interior, I would have said a red exterior before i knew about the leather, but that would be too much, so i think the dark grey. With the DV6 engine!

Haha glad to hear you're thinking about your dream Vel Satis!
Mine would be a 3.5 V6 in Black with the Blue leather interior. I doubt one exists...
Blue looks absolutely superb, if I come across the photos I'll post them! I wasn't sure on the green at first but I love it. Grey leather is pretty rare too, it would be my next preference after blue.

These cars get more interesting dont they!
I used to have a brochure for the Vel somewhere, i must do somethere but where!? Ive got an Avantime one, well a few, but can't find a Vel Satis one. Shame.
If the 3.5 V6 was a manual, then yes, that would be awesome! Must be going for peanuts now too. I like the red one on ebay, 3.5 V6 with cloth interior ....

Too right!These cars get more interesting dont they!
There's a few real nice ones on ebay, although I have to say, I don't like Flame Red as a body colour.
I'm pretty sure I have a good few of the same Vel Satis brochures. I'll have a look and could post you one if you're that keen - it's the kind of behaviour I like to encourage

Is flame red the same as the Megane colour? Looks different, as that looks more pinky.
That would be great, thanks!

They're both called the same thing, but I agree, they don't look the same.
World's quietest ventilation system!? I don't think so! And it has to be on ALL the time if it's raining and you have passengers as the Vel Satis likes to mist up!
Here's a 2.2 dCi in full glory... might tempt you??

What would be wrong with that then, another common problem besides the turbo?
