Default Personal Line Interior

Does anyone know for how long this option was available? How many cars had it? Any members here got it?

Many thanks

Personal Line trim was available from the launch of the 75 in 1999 until the faclift model was introduced in 2004.
It cost a reasonable £250 and was available in
Neptune Blue
Deep Sea Green
Aubergine
You could choose the Personel Line trim on the Club and Connoisseur models
The Club models had Personel Line cloth and the Connoisseur, Personal Line Leather trim.

The Aubergine option was dropped when production moved to Longbridge.

When the facelift model was introduced the Personel Line option was droped but any of three colour interior was available under the Monogram option.

What's the difference between standard leather trim & personal line leather beside the colour and the seat piping?

The door cards, carpets, steering wheel, gear knob and dashboard are colour matched too.

I believe the leather was the same quality for both standard trim and Personel line trim.

The Personel Line option included matching dashboard top, door cards, steering wheel, gear knob and gear surround, handbrake grip and surround, carpets and mats

When did Rover change to leather seat facings from full leather seats? I'm guessing it was circa 2002?

Full leather seats are featured in the first 1999 brochure for the 75 but the next brochure only a few weeks later shows only leather seat facings.

So full leather [fronts and backs] most likely were never available until the Monogram options were introduced then there was full cream leather available plus any other colour on application.
