My baby is home, finally

I still need to get the quarter windows and windows back on, and a little cleaning up. It was really great to drive her again,it has been over two months. We still need to decide if the interior is going to be biscuit or beige.

Looking great [8D].
Biscuit or Biege, Biscuit or biege. Mmmmmm.
I think a Tan interior and roof would also look good [:)].
If it was mine, I'd be putting a Blue interior and roof on there [^]. No doubt about it [:D].

Thanks for the nice words. I just got back from the monthly Portland Triumph Owners meeting. Everyone there liked it too. A couple people were sure that it wasn't the same car. As cool as some people thought the flat black bonnet was, I really like this better. trv8, what is the difference between tan and beige? I do want a tan/beige/biscuit top as well. I hope I'm not torn between 3 interiors now.

Tan is top right....Beige is bottom right....

I think Biscuit is a lighter colour again than Beige.

Yeah, it looks like the tan kits only come with the check inserts in the door cards. I want to be rid of the checks on this car. So, back to beige or biscuit. I'm leaning toward biscuit and so is the wife. Since it looks like they don't have biscuit tops, I think that the tan top that Rimmers have should look okay with it. My wife wants me to finish the car in less than a month! There is no way. I have three more weeks of school before getting a month off. Maybe I can finish it then. I have to get the big ugly F-150 out of the garage first. After that I'll be lucky if she gives me gas money.[;)]

If you want Tan and don't like the check inserts, you can order them to be made without the check inserts (ie. plain).
I done this when I ordered my Blue interior, no check for me too [:)].
But, Biscuit interior and a Tan top does sound good [8D]


I'd still go for Blue though[:D] [:D] [:D].

[bmcecosse]

I'll second that vote for blue......... But I LIKE the checks - they make the car! Very nice car there Spec!

[Beans]

Car's to dark for blue i.m.h.o.
But a light brown/tan leather interior would really finish this car.
Something along these lines ...



And of course you can't go wrong with black [8D]

Car looks lovely [;)]

I think Biscuit (Victoria British)is American for beige (Rimmers). Either biscuit or tan would work as the car is mid shade. Green and blue definitely wouldn't. I'd keep the door panels plain. My Yellow TCT trim code CAAA came with beige/biscuit interior, plain door cards and plain cloth seat covers and black top but I may change that to Tan. The Shifter cover and kneepads were black, Keeping them the same colour as the dash/consul which looks better than the tan ones of other trims IMHO.

Biscuit is a lighter colour than Beige.
Rimmers catalogue page 102 [;)].
Tan is darkest of the three colours.
