Hi and welcome! Lovely colour — if I were to buy a coupe some day, it would be a blue one with red seats. :thumbsup:

The seats are certainly striking, not seen many other Montego blue coupes with that seat choice. Wonder if it was an impulse option tick.
I am in West Sussex.

It's definitely an unusual colour combination - according to the database a forum member compiled the UK only got one Montego Blue Coupe with a red interior and it's an Auto.

It reminded me of the MC I've seen advertised a few times in Camberley that is Interlagos Blue with an Imola Red interior!

The weather forecast doesn't look great, but if it's dry hopefully I'll see you there. :thumbsup:
