Hello all,

Newbie here, been looking at 500's today with fiancee whom has falled head over heels in love (with the 500 that is !!) She really likes the idea of a 1.3MJ Lounge in Cha Cha with Vintage leather with cream ambience - has anyone seen one knocking round a dealer ready to drive away ?

Or possibly a funk white sport / again 1.3MJ ?

Really like the italian stripes - but would they work on Cha cha - anyone any pics ?

Ps love the forum - some lovely looking 500

I certainly haven't seen any. Some dealers put there stock cars on Autotrader so if it's the wait your not after that might help. Or calling a couple different dealer chains. They can search there own group stock and if they have what your after I'm sure they will try their best to find it for you if it means a sale.

Welcome to FF.

Thanks for the quick response Beast

Might be bieng a little too specific hey - But yes its the wait that is the issue really want to pick one up ASAP and enjoy it while the sun (hopefully) shines.

Would be keen to know if anyone has seen any 1.3MJ's inother colour / trim combo's ready to drive away. Will start on phoning them dealers in the morning.

Can I make a suggestion? The vintage wont quite look right with the cha cha, try red leather instead as that would look awesome. As for the stripes, have a good look at the quality of them first, they will peel at some stage, seen one already

Welcome to the forum firstly.

And i have to now plug the company i work for.. Alan gibson ltd in basingstoke.

i just had a quick look on there website alangibson.com and found that we have a few 1.3mj 500's available ex-demo's one there is a cha cha and lounge!

If your interested call chris or james on 01256 355221

Got to disagree nuovapanda I think the cha cha would look great with vintage, a lot more subtle than red which I think looks a bit garish that's the leather I would go for it looks classy.

Me too.. sorry.

Cha cha - vintage = nice, classy! Cha cha - red = eeek, prove me wrong!?

minifunclub, spot on

Look back to the 60s, lots of cars had blue paint and red seats... blue with brown is just wrong, IMO of course. I love my vintage leather but no way would I have them in any blue car.

nuovapanda I know what you are saying but cha cha is such a lovely subtle blue that vintage would just look great in it in fact you could get away with vintage in most of the 500's

We shall have to agree to not agree Id love to see a cha cha with red leather though.
Someone commented on how colourful my interior was the other day... I took it as a compliment anyway

nuovapanda I agree with you that we should agree to not agree! Agreed?

Blimey... was not expecting to spark such a debate on the combo .....

I love the red leather - and, if going white (funk/ bossa) red would be the choice...but, the blue and brown combo has been so vogue in both home interiors and clothing recently and IMO looks really good together ...nice to see it would be somewhat unique too .

So .....anyone got one ???

No, its unique seeLOL.
