Yeh I don't know where in the UK you are, but if it has been a couple of months, that puts you in a good negotiating postion, particularly coming up to Xmas when times are hard anyway.

I have tan interior on my 2005 Berlina Black, but it looks more like a cream..... someone told me it was classed as tan though. When I was looking for one, this stood out for me. Admittedly the carpets are tough to keep clean, but looks great!
I have never seen another one though........

I'm undecided on it ...... probably need to see it in the flesh ..... shame it's a 100 mile drive just to see if I like the colour of the seats.
Had a colleague in works a good few years ago who a very similar combo on an MX5 and it was quite nice BUT I have it in my head I want the two tone red/black.
decisions decisions.

There were tow tans;
A light tan on the 04/05 USDM & JDM cars (very rare in UK)
A darker tan on EUDM later cars only on the darker colours from +06 with the solid headrest seats. (Pie's car)

It's just a poor quality camera making it look orange/tan.

I agree - crap camera and red seats.

Honda oughtn't be allowed to do coloured leather - only the British ever get in right. So do the Italians. Sometimes.
The early tan was actually hearing aid beige and dirties extremely quickly.
Actually, if you swap in some black carpets, it tones down the whole lot to a more tasteful level.
Ditto red; where Aston or Bentley would have chosen oxblood, the squeamish Japanese chose cranberry pink and the result is almost as dreadful as the eponymous pop band...
EDIT: tan, not tax. I've got a one-track mind at the moment & surfing's not even helping...
