What do you think the dealer's reaction would be if you went to trade such a non standard car back in a year or two's time?

I had already bought the car <g> - was talking about it when we were looking at the Clubman at the launch party, so not looked at the price difference. I think there was probably a few hundred pound difference, but the main thing was that you could get colour / design you wanted

That's fair enough then. Do you know what sort of colour / design you're going to go for?

I always feel ok with my red lounge leather choice. Easy to clean (much more than the punch leather) and wonderful to see each time I look at my car from inside and from outside. People's opinion is very influenced by the interiors: they like it and the car is surely enriched.
Go for it with no doubt (piano black is the correct companion for ellipsis and dashboard, imo)!

Black Lounge Leather

Hi. FWIW, i've just picked up my Clubman with Black Lounge Leather and i can confirm that paying the bit extra for Lounge Leather is well worth it. I hadn't seen it in black before I actually ordered it, as the dealer only had the brown in the showroom, but I took the chance.

It's very comfy and seems to hold me in the seat very well. It's also great to look at - the light piping looks really nice.
