Its certainly a very strong/bold colour. Shame about the repair patch on the drivers seats. What type of seats are these ?

 

[Pilkie]

Late leather box pleat with the slimline moulded rear panel."IIRC"

I'd go for these if the repair patch wasn't so ugly and the shin bins and doorcards were included. I imagine that the repair to the corner of the seats probably a bit costly to be done properly.

I personally like the colour.

A few years ago I picked up another XC plated export 3500 auto - NXC682M. This one apparently had been to the Far East before returning to the UK. It was Arctic White with Mango, and a very nice colour scheme it is too:

Mango ET's must really be the rarest ones of them all. Mango really isn't far from the original P6 interior colour of London Tan (a la my 1964 2000), and really isn't that loud.

I sold the car on to Jim Brown, and it's still very much with us, having had a fair amount of resto.

That car looks the business, Nick.

My father had a 2000TC in the '70s in Lunar Grey & Mango leather. I rather liked it & it was very period.

A friend also had a Cameron Green V8 with Mango.

I'd definitely agree with that...looks stunning!

My father had a 2000TC in the '70s in Lunar Grey & Mango leather.

...and that!

Hmmm...not quite so sure! :wink:

There's a possibly apocriphal story from round here about a guy locally who supposedly had a Paprika with Mango car. That's certainly taking things a little too far
