Yes that is what mine has.... with the 'motorsport' logo embossed into the backrest rather than the stitching on the thigh bolster. Very few Monte's had leather esp heated leather!

I seem to remember it being a 'special' option!! As John Brooklyn had every option for it.

Correct M.A.D.
Just imagine the leather pattern you get in a escos... but in dark maroon.
It seems the only option Mr Brooklyn didn't go for was the footwell lights, which i have just had fitted. Nice effect.

Yes, still for sale.

I've driven this pup a few times (the car ) an I can confirm it's a one off with the colour matched leather seats. I think there was only 12 Violet Montes ever made and this was the only one that had the leather in it.

It was also the first 4x4 Cos I ever drove. Still prefer 2WD for the fun factor although the Monte did drive like a dream. It was also stage 1 when I drove it (done by Mark+Alana) so not mildly modded and fairly recent too.

You've got a limited edition car so I guess exclusivity is quite important to you?
And you can't see the importance of a limited edition car that has a one off interior that was fitted from new not aftermarket?

Actually fella, leather wasnt an option with the monte. This was re trimmed from new, just like many other people re trim old seats. Not that it makes a difference, still a great car.

Surely if someone contacted John Brooklyn, or Brooklyn Motorsport we could find out about the interior? As so many people have different opinions and ideas of how it came to be in this car
