Great looking car Dan! First time I saw the two tone was in a Fiat showroom 1982 half and half light and dark silver with red leather... Special edition of some sort... Seems like the carpet was almost pink or something. Would have to ask my Dad but I remember both of us commented on one odd detail. Actually it was a pink leather steering wheel! Was not pink but light red, right? Then my '83 was Rally Red and Anthracite half and half. Had a friend with the same year in dark grey/Anthracite also striking colors Yours is '85? I like the break on that two tone as well and the colors are a couple of my favorites! Love the real wheels too! Beautiful car!
Hi Rocco, thanks for the nice compliments!
I have never seen one of the red interiors in person, but in pictures they are indeed attention-getting! And usually you see the red interiors on the early 80s low-waisted light over dark two-tones. Your memory of pink is probably correct, as they started out red and then sun-fading would have made them somewhat pink!
Mine is an '86 by the federal tag, but it was manufactured 6/85 so it does not have the center high mounted stoplight and has a 10-bolt head and not the later-'86 14 bolt head. The wheels are Cromodora CD-58, which are cast magnesium alloy (Cromodora used the term "Elektron"). Like everyone else I wanted CD-31 Daytonas, but could not find a set in a condition to match people's asking prices, so I went with the next best thing.

Yes, IIRC International Auto Parts commissioned Cromodora to do a run of CD-31, unfortunately its was in the Alfa bolt pattern and double-unfortunately, they were done in cast aluminum and not magnesium aka "Elektron." IAP's reps at 2009 FFO here in the Philadelphia area had them at their display in the hotel and at the Saturday car show.A while back someone tried to get interest in a short run of new CD-31
Time to put them away for a long winters nap...
Put my 850 Sport Coupe away for the winter along with my X1/9.
