Ok so been looking and looking and looking and haven't seen even a bad condition QP for sale in black with Ox blood leather. Are there Any out there?

 

[TridentTested]

I was looking in earnest for an awful long time before I bought mine and over that period I can't remember seeing that combo at all.

What colour is "OX blood" exactly? A dark murky red?

 

[dem maser]

Great colour....also grey is good on them

 

[cobratwin]

It's a dark red Bordeaux colour

 

[dem maser]

Know it.....

 

[cobratwin]

I'm starting to think go Nero paint and leather with red piping/stiching

 

[Andyk]

David, you will be waiting a long time for Ox blood.......Its rare to see one......Black with red piping/stitching may be a bit easier to find...

 

[cobratwin]

Yeah thinking ur right, I've cancelled the leather replacement for my TI so Nero leather might be the step forward and get the QP leather changed instead. Want to wait just a little longer though.

 

[dem maser]

Id get the interior colour first and if the exterior is not to your liking if you could get it at a good price you can spray it

 

[cobratwin]

I'm not sure it's the Nero paint and Ox blood leather that's the problem combo more of a problem is the Ox blood leather I've hardly seen any with it.
Like I said though will give it a but longer but if by Christmas it's still a no go I'll look at changing my options. Or if a decent QP Nero n Nero with red stiching g comes along then will serously concider it

 

[Andyk]

Only probolem with a respray is when you come to sell....Punters are very wary obout resprays and why it was done especially on a car like a QP......Unless it a CAT car of course that you've done up.....

 

[cobratwin]

Yep I aggree, but done right including informing the dvla etc with a fully photo documented writeup should release some of there weariness. Bus
Finding the exterior colour isn't the problem so it's unlikely I'll go down that route.
