OK, deep breath - how feasible is it to swap the interiors over, given the different climate control, audio stuff, electrics in different places etc.? I would hope the basic architecture and hard fixing points would be the same underneath.

Cars are 11/98 and 03/00.

I wouldn't have the time to do it so roughly how much would a body shop charge to do the work? Any thoughts appreciated.

Welcome - doesn't look like ex-plod, mine's a civvy model and has no sat-nav or integrated phone system, just the CCR2006.

 If you want a decent nav-system and more features, Kenwood do a terrific-looking model, I think it's called the DNX. Same size as standard, DVD, CD, built-in Garmin nav. It's on my list of things I want for mine in the future... only thing its missing is a phone, but I think you could get a Parrot or similar kit, and it'd still be less than swapping the interiors over.

Anything you're wondering about the MV6, drop me a PM and I'll have a look at what mine's got. :y

Is the car you bought still listed or has he removed the add.  I can see a listing for a Black MV6 estate (Didnt realise they did them as Estates)

Yes Scruntie, its still listed - the black MV6.

As I said PeteG, I'm not to bothered about the toys, its just I much prefer the rounded 'organic' interior of the '98 model. The later squared off look doesn't do it for me.

Btw, I have the parrot 8200 in my Lotus Esprit V8. Its a great piece of kit although it struggles with the voice recognition when I'm 'pressing on'. ::)
