^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As Alan Hansen would say, Absolutely fantastic.

Whether I had black, moonrock or silver, my 2000S interior would look exactly like that.

My current car's interior is very similar:

If you do decide on a Silverstone you will have to change your handle to SlowPat17

To keep it as FastPat17 you pretty much limited to a Berlina Black

Everybody knows its the fastest colour

Putting aside personal preferences I believe there is a safety issue to consider.

Our roads are covered in medium/dark grey tarmac.
We endure many overcast grey sky days.
We drive in that half-light between day and night.
Few drive with sidelights on during poor light conditions.
Some of our roads are shaded by trees and tall buildings.

Do you see where I'm coming from? Because if you are in a dark grey car you are unlikely to.

Moonrock and it's derivatives look very smart, serious and executive like, the reason many aspiring captains of industry, businessmen and sales reps choose the colour. It's very fashionable at the moment, and just a tad different from the acres of silver cars everywhere.

Even with black I worry about being seen and habitually put the sidelights on in poor light conditions, even if just running through a heavily tree shaded section of road.

White is widely forecast to be the new silver, & together with yellow probably the most easily visible and thus safe colours to have.

I'm with Jamie - the one Gan San is driving in the vid is Silverstone - the quality of the footage makes it look darker at some angles
