Massive thanks to the brilliant Ian Parkin at Murray's who is an absolute gent. Very happy with my brand new 250 SE ??

Absolutely stunning. The perforated leather is just lovely. And the blue is perfect, just blue enough. Not too light.

Great!!! Did you do the passenger airbag cover as well?

[Hellers]

Hi SFO. The colour blue for the seats / gear surround / door cards is stunning and the quality of the leather is impeccable. It all really lifts the interior and like you say it's not too light. 

The stitching throughout is also outstanding. 

The blue/black leather sills (quite a lot darker then the seats) really contrasts nicely, all held together by the same lighter colour blue stitching. It's hardwearing too. 

Thanks very much for asking. I'm thrilled with the whole package.

I was wondering about the colour of the sills; they didn't look black or blue. 

The colour of the thread perfectly complements the blue leather. 

Is the dash leather black or same as the sills?

[Hellers]

I would describe the seats etc. as Royal Blue and the sills and dash as Blue/Black rather like the Quink Ink I used to use 40-odd years ago at school.

You can see the exterior metallic blue colour in the seat inserts which is a sky blue metallic (lighter again).

The steering wheel is blue/black leather and the passenger airbag cover is the same as are the 4 desk-mounted air vents with contrasting stitching.

My 250 SE came with all of this pre-specc'd by the factory.

Quink Ink is what it is ?

Perfect. You don't want more than 2 leather colours.

I've never thought about two colours max, before. I feel you may well be right! Thanks very much for your interest.

i will know more after Christmas but it looks like only three SE's were made for the UK market and one of those is white with a black leather and white stitched interior: https://centrallotus.com/new-stock/elise-250-special-edition/

I noticed the white 250 SE ...not a patch on yours. Looks like a standard Elise.
