[ROVERNET - UK] Rover Terminology

Ahhhhh.... a question I can answer....

I bought a "Buffalo" interior from an April Yellow
early Rover.  That was a VERY dark brown. (I have some
downstairs - I changed over to two black upholstered
Rovers.)

I bought another Rover with an "Ebony" interior.  That
was black.

It reminds me of the "Mrs. Bouquet" vs "Mrs. Bucket"
shtick on an old English comedy - Keeping up
Appearances.
