It is important in something you will admire the beauty for a long time to come.
While I havent found a color I dislike on the XK
The cyanite was one I searched everywhere for- very rare in the States. Yes I do not like the black interior either, and in a sunny climate as yours, it makes little sense. Regardless, the coastal blue and cream interior is quintessential Mediterranean.

I hope they are still welcome. I'll be back down there in September.

Pretty sure the pictured one is Spectrum Blue not Kyanite Blue.
My old XFR was Kyanite, and Spectrum, while similar, is much more "purple".
But I must admit it's a toss up for me as to which I like better.

Looks nice. 👍 While I chose a convert for myself, I really love the look of the XK coupe in the dark color palette.

May be harder to get UK parts and need to show registration document at every border crossing.

Great car though, I'm looking for same.
