Talking of BRG, my Wife wants her next F-Type in BRG with Tan interior. The XKR in the Pics belongs to a friend, he bought it new, it has around 22k miles on it. He has a LOT of Cars, he has asked me if I want to buy it. Maybe I should?
It’s actually a nice shade of BRG right?

Looks much like the BRG on the F-Type.

possibly a bit lighter?


Question:

They rid of the camel color seats, which perfectly complimented the tan vert top.

Now, they've Sienna Tan Windsor leather, and it seems really dark, and sometimes orange. I see mostly renderings, and no real photos of the color. Here's one:
https://www.autoblog.com/used-detail...ar-E-Pace-2018

I think that Sienna Tan Windsor isn't going to complement the beige roof on british racing green. Sort of wonder if the ivory color would be more suited?

Any opinions on Sienna Tan Windsor as a replacement for the Camel (which was perfect), vs Ivory performance leather?

Many, MANY thanks. I assume that's a special seat with the black on it, and the sienna tan windsor seats are fully tan along with the door panels?

The black edges and black door panels are a special/custom order?

I really like the look. It's a bit darker than the tan/tope/beige top, but it should work. =)

Man I would kill to see the tan top and sienna tan at the same time. I hate pioneering a new look. There's a joke about pioneers being shot in the back with arrows. =)

Feel free to take more pics as convenient. Would love to see more. No concern nor rush tho. Thanks very much!!

Indeed that is. I have not been able to make a picture of my car so far which complement its BRG color.
I've been asked more than once whether the car was black, once whether is was dark blue...

@KVO.
You set my mind to rest ! When I was in the process of configuring my car, I utterred the same statement. The dark blue/dark green both are TOO dark and appear a shade of black...
So I ordered Ultra Blue , but to my opinion the 'velocity blue' is better ; but PLEASE drive even 200km to get the chance to see the colour LIFE in DAYLIGHT !!!

The configurator is the worsed : don't decide on the looks from that worthless mockup..

Afterwards I discovered if you google "F-Type" and then coupe/cabrio , what you want, then select 'images' , you can already get a fair impression from what's around.

But know that through the years there have been several tones of almost every color , so make sure of the production year to know if it is a specific colour..

Also sites with used cars can give an impression of the colour...

If there's anyone with full siena tan seats and interior with BRG and a beige vert top, I will buy you a few bottles of wine to see pics. =)

And as these forums are about conversation and speculation, commentary....

Beige vert top with BRG... the camel seats were PERFECT, but they don't exist anymore for 2019MY. Anyone want to gamble whether siena tan will complement or clash with a beige top???

Fishbits I have nearly the same seat color combination as Pie944, in my BRG,although my center panel light tan is a solid leather, not perforated. It was called Baroque as I recall in '16, or as a friend joked, "yeah, once you get it you are Baaaroke!

More likely it’s 'brogue'.

Would love pics, if it is convenient and all that. No worries otherwise. I am throwing caution to the wind and will assume the BRG and Siena Tan will be fine, and the beige top will be fine. I hope. eek

It sound like a classic and perfect combo of colours, you'll love it ! And you're in California, so the top will be folded almost permanently...
... put in your calendar to practice how to close it...

it is indeed BROGUE - there is nothing baroque about the F-Type. This same colour is used in Range Rovers, and it is what I have in my F-Type (BRG Xirallic). I love it.

Fishbits, you motivated me to attempt my first photo upload to the forum. Hope it helps you make your choice, and I too think the tan convert top would be my choice over the black that I now have.

The xirallic was discontinued on the MY16+ Models (US). IRR and BRG were xirallic for the first two production years.

Yes, my car is most definitely BRG Xirallic- and the colour is stunning in the sun; in the shade it can look almost black.



And the Brogue full-leather interior:

In the sun its really beautifull indeed. But the black : this is why I did not buy BRG or dark blue.
Both appear to be black, if not in bright sunlight.
