Well, if it comes with a matching plaid suit… nah, it would still be… hmmm, I’m torn between comical, and terrible.

I hope they're going to do the dash top to match.

Definitely not for me but have to admire the skill of the work.

That interior is uglier than the Dallas Cowboys collapse and the Philadelphia Eagles fade into obscurity.

I'm now embarrassed about my Dino in 1980's with Royal Stewart tartan.

Funny, I was taking a look at the cars currently on offer in Germany and this turned up: https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/d...l?id=258566963

Never heard of them before and I can't say I feel I have missed anything!

Let's see if it sells ...

Wish I wasn’t:



Get a matching suit, and you’d be invisible in there.

It actually remind me of the 1980s FIAT Panda. Quite cool for a bargain-basement city car in its day, but looks like a 1980s double-breasted suit in an XK!

Not my style, but it's a tasteful use of subtle color. Red, blue, green would be appalling.

Probably someone celebrating ancestry. Closest pattern I can easily find is Cragie Croft Check, sample is a bit beige, but pattern is close.

Good on 'em.
