I know these are rare as but does anyone know where i can get a white interior from or even better would like to sell me theirs!?

really want one to go in my GTV that i'm restoring ( it was a bit of a bag when i got it but i saw it drove it and loved it so much i took it home, then again i knocked him down £975 for a PH2 twinny, though i've seen better since. At least i can cosole myself that i save a beautiful car from the breakers and the rate they're being broken in a couple of years i'll have a classic:thumbs

Might be worth giving Autolusso a call, I believe they still have a set of unprepared white leather.

I would consider parting with mine if the offer was right

They do, but the drivers seat is badly worn.

Check out getting the interior re-trimmed, not cheap but seems more affordable than I'd have guessed.

tried a couple but nobody seems to do it local, i'm down in cornwall. may have to keep searching...

i dread to think what the offer would need to be!?

Always worth a PM. Worst I can say is 'no thank you'

Don't do it bud. It has transformed your car. Your car will appeal to Alfisti if you ever sell and may even command a higher price because of it.

P.S. I want first refusal if you did ever sell (the car WITH white leather )

I have a really scruffy set in stock. Not beyond saving but a lot of work is required.

While I still have the black leather in the garage (hopefully sold to a chap in Spain this week), I would give it up only for an offer I couldn't refuse.

Like most of us on here, I'm not into the car for the money, we've all spent far too much money on them for that; it's about a passion for stylish Italian engineering, a desire to drive something different and exciting, and because we love driving.

I can't imagine selling, Could you sell your daughter? :lol: If that sad day ever comes, I will want her to go into Alfisti hands

 

[jay726]

well i dont think my budget would go to a daughter however i have 2 sons and a wife i'd trade!

 

[radicalmachine]

Are they good condition for age? :lol:

 

[jay726]

well the specs are:

Make: Cornish
Model: Wife
Year: 87 E plate
Colour: light tan with light brown hood
Mileage: low

Good points:
cheap to run (wine and chocloate)
requires very regular servicing (bit like a ford)
refuses to drive the alfa but loves it nearly as much as me
easy going
rust and blemish free
virtually rattle free
enjoys a good thrashing from time to time
no smoke

Bad points:

Engine can be quite noisey if provoked
quite thirsty
few squeeks and noises here and there, but easily masked (wine, chocolote and flowers)

other key points

Average front bumper, and slighty larger than average rear bumper, though considering modifaction up front in a couple of years, and slimming the rear through hard work in the next few weeks at the same sime going through a weight reduction programme. will probably be on the open market very soon should she ever see this post!

As for the boys I'll keep them!

 

[jay726]

just seen the "restoration" you put into your set... they are amazing and i will definately be in touch to get some tips on how to restore them properly, that project is exactly what i want to do. at the end of the day £375 was nothing compared to the value i imagine it added

:lol::lol::lol: Sounds like a tidy example, although you do seem rather attached. Couldn't take her off you in good conscience :lol:

 

[jay726]

I was quite attached but after seeing that interior I'd gaping trade and throw in some cash, it'd be more than worth it! Hopefully I'll be able to turn out a similar result for a similar outlay

White is a wonderful color for the interior, partly because it is so rare. White always makes the interior look a lot roomier.

Good luck :thumbs: let us know how you get on!

Get in touch with one of the leather restoration companies. Colour changes are not much more difficult than restorations using the right kit. Look in a classic car mag there are usually several listed in there.

This page is from the company that most of the Jag guys use. As you can see, red to white in the photos.
