I went to look at a real nice 2007 XKR and it was quite an unusual color combination. The exterior was a light blue pearl. The interior has white seats, blue dash and blue and white door panels. I really liked the blue and white interior but it had an unusual white wood veneer. It was mostly white with some round spots. Quite unusual to me. Now if the veneer had been a "blond" wood grain I think that it would have been more attractive. I can't imagine it was very popular.


What do you think?

 

It is all a matter of personal taste. I would like to see a light grey wood grained. Or almost anything but what is shown above.

 

No, it was Poplar though

 

That interior is a rare option, as is the Adaptive Cruise Control that is apparent from the two rotary controls on the right hand side of the steering wheel. The left controller sets the speed and the right controller sets the distance gap. Here's a larger photo of the ACC controls on my steering wheel. Non-ACC cars have only one rotary control. The paddle extensions are aftermarket.

 

Don't let the color of the wood trim turn you off from buying that XKR. You can change it to be whatever you want. The veneer panels are easily removed using plastic trim removal tools and can be wrapped in a variety of colors and patterns of wood grain, spun aluminum or carbon fiber. OEM replacements pictured in Post #3, above, are available but hard to find.

 

I'd love to see that combination in person some day.

Most of the X150's in my area are warm charcoal.

 

It would be interesting to see, for sure. I'd swap the wood out for my lovely burl Walnut thou!
Love my adaptive cruse!

 

That looks like the mirror image of my RHD 2007 XK. Poplar Veneer, Ivory seats and Slate Blue Dash.

Close to one I just acquired.
