If you do then those white seats and door cards look great!

I’ve had white interiors on many full size convertibles and they do look great. Hard to keep clean tho.
I also prefer white convertible tops. Again in my opinion look great but very difficult to keep looking good when used.

I'm too much of a boring git it seems - I prefer the black interior. That way it doesn't stand out and distract me when driving.
Saying that, my Gran's old Opel Kadett used to have that standard 70s/80s orange/brown interior colour in it and that was quite nice. Also, your photos of the blue and white combo does look good. I wouldn't have it, but I do admit it looks good.

Every other newish Bentley, Rolls, Merc, Beemer etc etc seems to have a white or off-white interior. I can perhaps understand the total waste of good quality white leather to a point in you are a middle east location.....not because white is supposedly cooler in really hot temperatures (you have pre-conditioned a/c for that) no, white interiors IMHO are so lacking in taste I'll expect the car owners house to be much the same - white marble flooring, walls and sanitory gear with gold finished light fittings and chair legs....do I need to continue.......

White interiors on US cars have been very popular since the 1950’s, and I thought it suited them . Nearly every model could be had with a white interior at some stage mostly in vinyl, with top end models in leather.
very surprised that early C3’s were not offered with a white interior.
In a convertible, with the top down with a white interior the car pops.

50's, 60's Caddi's, Lincoln's and the like, yeah fine - but a muscle car IMHO just isn't right (sez me with a white bodied Vette!) Thing is white, like black isn't really a colour. Its the total absence of any colour - much like a blank sheet of paper.....

Not sure about full blown white but the white with blue looks good.

It seems that everyone thinks that women drive well and that it's stereotypical to say the opposite. But I have not come across a single girl who drove well, to be honest. When I let my wife drive my car, she got lost. She couldn't tell me where she was. Luckily on the site I downloaded an app with which I could track her location. So I did not have to look for a long time fortunately.

You might not have come across them ( you should be so lucky
) but there are / were a lot out there . Pat Moss , Vicki Butler Henderson , Michelle Mouton , Llyn St. James and Desire` Wilson to name but a few . I did meet Desire` briefly once . She was an F1 and Group C driver and my mate built her Spice Group C for her . She also raced an Jaguar E Type in classic racing amongst other cars when I met her . They all have talent far beyond the likes of you and I .

My wife drives very well now and I'm even surprised. My opinion of women behind the wheel has changed. I can say one thing for sure that the car is cleaner and the most important thing is that I have never used any containers or drawers for small things. And she bought all this Tesla y accessories and now the car is tidy. I just when I am in a hurry I just throw the documents on the seat and the checks usually threw in the door and not myself but the passenger). And thanks to my wife, I am now in order! And I have seen many of her friends who also feel quite confident behind the wheel.
