Yep XA\XB all the way for me. The wraparound dash makes the driver and front seat passenger feel special. Having said that the back seat leg room on these things is atrocious and the coupes are even worse

Also have a soft spot for the HQ and HJ interiors. They certainly knew how to make an awesome dash back then!

here's where Ford lose cohesion in the GTE/F6E interior, way too many contrasting colours, like the Wiggles on acid.

Woluld look sooo much classier with a matching charcoal hood lining, piano black instead of the plastic wood trim and some of the red leather on the door cards to balance the seats...not fricken hard....

Oh well. it gives us modders something to do....

Without a doubt, the Landau interior is the most glorious offering from Ford Australia. It was well ahead of it's time, and is still magnificent even today.

Mine is the AU S1 TS50 (pic stolen from another member)

and



I also still love the G6eT interior in cashmere, the contrast in the car with the piano black dash is striking and always gets good comments.

For me ....

Number 1, Landau. Love the controls on the console, the XA/B style dash and the leather, all the buttons and dials, the rear bucket seats. Nothing else like it

Number 2, TS50 with aubergine interior (As per pic just beat me above.) AU Ghia, Fairlane & LTD was impressive enough but the interior of the T series was perfect. The colour of the seats was brilliant and wish it was available now in the FG GT

Number 3, XF Ghia ....... To see a good condition one in the grey velour is hard these days but was the most plush interior and more so than the P6 and anything after it. Those isolating air vents and digital dash was just so 80's and spot on!

Can't disagree with either of those. I wish the GTE had that exact colour trim instead of the red. Cashmere with piano black trim.

Yeah, it's strange that you can't option Cashmere on FPV's ?

I too agree, that combo looks tits. Only two primary colours, not four. I'd swap mine for that anyday !

I reckon the AU interior on the Fairmont up, and XR/FTE models were really good, just that silly looking round pod in the middle of the dash ruined it a bit. If that had of made it more square it would have fixed that up. And I like the soft feel plastic they used on the dash too.

Can't get over how many people put the XF Ghia at the top of their list.

I have just finished fitting the interior of an XF Ghia that I bought for spares into a ZL Fairlane, looks a million dollars compared to the checkered cloth and grey plastic that was fitted to the base model Fairlane. The soft material covering the doors and seats gives the car a warm comfortable look.

I love my old XA B Cs but for some reason never been a big fan of the dash. I dont mind the XY ones.
I remember the old XF Ghia ones seemed pretty fancy at the time, lit up like a Xmas tree.
I know its not what the qu. asked But to choose a favourite, it would be anything from the American 60s Muscle car era. So classy IMO.

Added a poll with the most popular that have been suggested above. I know not all are there and limited it to Ford cars to simply a little. If there is not the one you selected already in the thread but no option on the poll its because no one else agreed so pick your second or third best ....
