Stornoway Grey with Ivory?

I'm planning on swapping my TDV6 for a TDV8, but they're a bit thin on the ground (MY08.5) in the dealer network. However, I have been offered one in Stornoway Grey with Ivory trim. Does anyone have any pictures of said combination? Does anyone have experience if the light coloured interior?

Thanks,
Paul

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

My TDv6 was Aspen leather with Ivory. It was nice combination with the ivory door panels, lower dash and rooflining and it wasn't difficult to keep clean. I would never have ivory leather as it just isn't practical if you ever take your car offroad as every muddy hand mark needs a lot of work to clean off. Same as having white/cram furniture in your house - a lot of work! The good thing is that you have a nice light and airy interior and it works well with the straight grain walnut and cherry wood trims.

I'm not too sure how well Aspen would go with Stornoway,

Here is a pic of a white S/C with Ivory Interior

Sorry that the interior detail isn't fantastic.

I had a look at a car this morning with Ivory interior and I thought it looked pretty good. I don't take my car off road so I don't foresee muudy prints being a problem
I think it will look pretty good with Stornoway Grey. To quote the sales person at Guy Salmon " Stornoway Grey is the new Black"

I think I'll go for it.

As long as you don't have kids or ever wear blue/black trousers... I'm sure Ivory is fine I had Alpaca in mine and it did need to be kept clean but then I do have kids and do wear blue/black trousers

2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Buckingham Blue

I have the ivory interior in the RRS..... 2 small kids as well so we dont allow them to eat or drink in the RRS, we have a mommy van for that. Just make sure they take their muddy shoes off otherwise you will be scrubbing the back of the front seats.

Apart from kid control, I just clean/condition the leather every 2 weeks, takes 20 min and everything is fine and it even keeps the new car smell. Brit across the Pond

me nice car Paul no not the smelly diesel the lovely cob what colour combination are you having that painted may i ask.

Also I had sand in my FFRR which was a bitch to keep clean just the blue off your jeans would stain the leather so be careful, will look lovely in that combination though.

Hi My RRS has Ivory leather, Me personnally I love it when i was looking for my car i sat in one with Black interior and then sat in one with Ivory and I found it much brighter and fresh inside. As too keepiong it clean, Im a bit fussy and i have a second car for round town and taking kids locally, My RRS is more of a Sunday car, As recommended by my local land Rover Dealer just use the cheapest baby wet wipes once a week to clean all the leather, And it works Very Well.

Hi,
Initially, I'm not intending to paint it. I'm going to rub the alloy down to a brushed finish and then maybe, polish in some stripes.
Once I've saved some more money, I may then get it painted. But it will be original Guardsman Blue with White stripes and "meatballs".
