There has been a few discussions here about correct paint color and rare paint colors like special orders and spring specials colors.

This Chariot red is a spring special color.

I attempted some interior pics because I think the interior is 'well picked out' (JK 🤩 )

Please click on picture to enlarge for best clarity.

That is a very nice model, as are the 1st five colors Buz issued the model in. I added this red/white one because of the color despite the fact I had an example of the other five colors already. The wiper blades were more realistic on this one, a bit too large on the 1st five. I believe a yellow version was issued as well.

@jkuvakas 

In your recent My Take videos, you had some very nice interior photos. What kind of camera/phone and lens, if applicable did you use?

@jcarnutz 

There was a yellow (or cream) version of the hardtop,  which was offered at same time as red and white one. Like you I bought the red and white one.

@ed-davis, I'm actually using my iPhone 13 Pro Max set to a 3-second delay and on a mini-tripod. It does an amazing job. I used to use my Canon R with a 24MM macro. But the iPhone is just too easy to set up.
