Thanks man. Originally I was after a red/cream but the white/white kinda grows on you. Wouldn't change it for anything now.

scarecrow,
usually when people look at the interior of the countache its looks blocky and the speedometer looks strange do you get used to it as a nice interior?

[Scarecrow]

The only thing that hasn't really aged well from the '70s is the instrument binnacle. It still looks blocky, whichever way you look at it.

The instruments themselves are fine; all the information you need is readily available - speedo, rev counter, oil pressure and temperature, water temperature and battery charge. It sounds like a lot, but it's laid out reasonably well.

The instrument 'stalks' for washers, windscreen wipers, lights and indicators also look a bit dated when compared with more modern kit, and they do feel a bit flimsy in use, but they do what they were designed for so why worry!

Everything else feels real snug. It's a wide car, but the seats are actually quite narrow due to the wide sills and the central console between the seats. Once in and seated though, it all feels rather cosy, and not at all claustrophobic as some people have reported. However, that may be due to the white interior. Whether a darker interior may feel a little more claustrophobic, I can't say.

It's not the easiest car to drive, but it has lived up to all the expectations I had of it before I managed to buy one, and now that I have one I can't see me ever getting rid of it.

Anyway, I should stop rabbiting on, this was supposed to be a discussion on Diablos after all!!
