No Photoshop involved. Just a standard photo taken with a mildly wide angle lens to get it all in.

Pic was taken from a low angle which may perhaps give a different perspective to the shot. A more recent photo from another angle is below, taken with same camera and lens:

Mine being a lowly entry level Classic SE it has a rather bland centre console:-

That is why I intend to improve it once finances allow. The photos are from when we were sorting out the drowned ECU

. Since these the steerign wheel has been replaced with a correct colour unworn one from Marinabrian. The intention is to get Walnut trim for the window switches the A/C control panel and as we have the hard backs to the front seats possibly the trim bits for the top of the seat backs.

Once you start with the upgrades, it can get addictive (and expensive)!

Don't get me wrong, your first picture is a cracking photo and I really wish Rover 75 interiors looked like that! - but they actually look like your second photo don't they, nothing wrong with that but it's not quite as nice

Well the things I wish to change for the better are :-

1) Handbrake handle .... it is too small and I prefer the leather or wood ones.

2) Cover some of that black plastic with wood trim. Front window switches, A/C unit.

3) Wooden steering wheel

4) Cruise would be nice and useful

.

5) Some nice over mats.

....Note that I have not mentioned the stereo unit as we are hopefully sortign that problem out in September

. So nothing drastic

.
