I agree with your comments about orange-red. Wine red would be
great, but I think cherry would be too bright, also too much like a
brothel. OTOH, if you're talking black cherry, that would look good,
too. Think about how good a black MG T-series looks with a subdued
red interior. My guess is that is the look you are after. So you
definitely want something more towards the maroon end of the red
spectrum.

Ugh... On a black roadster I'd rather see a tan or medium brown than
grey.
