..with ****s

I prefered the 911 in period orange

I had a T2 in a very faded hue of the same colour.

Anything is better than silver or black. Tack at the best. And you know the lights and indicators will never work but when this is just the colour of a car that needs them.

All those Porsches are beautiful, apart from the brown one, obviously.

That BM, Bikebuoy, what’s that described as?
Can’t really tell from the lighting, could be anything from a mid gold to a dark red?

My dad had a metallic green Victor, then a gold Mk3 Cortina, which was beyond cool.

He then ruined it by getting a Mk4 in metallic brown (Arizona Gold?) with a beige vinyl roof, then a Mk5 in Cordoba beige with a dark brown wig.

Ford did a great light metallic blue and a couple of fantastic oranges, yellows and greens.
Escort purple looks really nice too.

Ford seemed to pretty much nail it in the 70’s and 8O’s but Leyland had some utterly appalling stuff out there.
Most of the 70’s Triumphs and MG’s make me feel ill.
Nice purple and magenta though and black Dolomite Sprints are very lovely things.

My Z4m in Sepang Bronze:

I nice 4 series for sale:

White colour for me cause I like it … 😛

My Corolla is silver colour … 🙂

White just suits some cars, often older, more organic or nicely proportioned stuff.
Original Minis look great in white, Citroens, old Triumphs, Lotuses, Lancias, Jags new and old, older BMW’s and Mercs, Alfas, Hondas, old VW’s and Porsches etc.

But ‘edgy’ stuff always looks poor in white and it’s ruthless in exposing poor design and awkward proportions and angles.

TR7’s are almost acceptable in the light metallic blue, but the white ones look like a sixth form project.
See also TVR, Land Rover, Dacia, modern Fiats, Peugeots, post fun Citroens, any SUV, Subarus, older Rollers/Bentleys etc.

White Saabs and big old barges always look a bit cheap too.

My Doblo is silver.
It’s grown on me, but the blue and red are so much nicer.
I drive it with the lights on.
