John F Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Blue, but only if parked in front of a Nissan Sunny. inconsistant, The Reverend Bluejeans, Jim Bergerac and 4 others 7
Taff Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 red, but only if parked to the right of a cabriolet The Reverend Bluejeans 1
vulgalour Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Like the solar variety, the Mitsubishi Eclipse should not be observed without eye protection. RayMK, HillmanImp, The Reverend Bluejeans and 4 others 7
phil_lihp Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Blue, definitely. That was always the best colour that Escort range came in. Have another one. AnthonyG, The Reverend Bluejeans, Shep Shepherd and 2 others 5
Lukas Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I don´t think the Eclipse always looks as bad as the blue one above. See: Better! The Reverend Bluejeans 1
EssDeeWon Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Blue for me. Still a few of these late MK4 Eclipse's about. The Reverend Bluejeans, Shep Shepherd and AnthonyG 3
sporty-shite Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I quite like that Mitsubishi. So there!! Lukas, myglaren and The Reverend Bluejeans 3
philibusmo Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 This thread is not complete without the horrid extra American version of the Mitsubishi Eclipse, from the company that briefly appeared from the rubble that was AMC: The Eagle Talon AnthonyG, The Reverend Bluejeans, laser wheels and 2 others 5
RayMK Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Beige. What a beauty, and probably not a transistor or chip in sight. Bet I can't afford it. The Reverend Bluejeans and myglaren 2
Junkman Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Not sure what the going rate is, but yes, it's arguably the most expensive Peugeot you can buy today. The Reverend Bluejeans 1
castros_bro Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Beige. Looks like the frog's electrics are fucked as normal inconsistant, chaseracer, The Reverend Bluejeans and 3 others 6
Cavcraft Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Lacquer peel red and blue as we used to call them. fordperv and The Reverend Bluejeans 2
Shep Shepherd Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I much prefer the blue version. To me, the red version always looked dull and washed-out, even when new. The Reverend Bluejeans and danthecapriman 2
Shep Shepherd Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Blue for me. Still a few of these late MK4 Eclipse's about. So do I. And Sierra Azuras. Both models don't seem to have rusted as badly as their mainstream equivalents for some reason.
fordperv Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Another vote for blue, shep your a bad man I'm now thinking of sierra azure in blue, i had a gls hatch for breaking in the same blue looked nice, every panel pin straight and paint was lovely, but it was terminally rotten and then saw a previously mint condition one that the owner loved in the same colour had been vandalised they dented his doors and bonnet, he didn't have the cash to get it sorted and didn't want to go through his insurance as the car wasnt worth alot, seeming as I had already made profit on the engine etc i offered to supply and fit the bonnet and doors for £20 just to get the car right again, the guy had a lump in his throat because of the gesture, i did the work and polished it up so it all looked nice, i see the car about now and again still looking lovely. chaseracer, In The Pit, catsinthewelder and 3 others 6
danthecapriman Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I much prefer the blue version. To me, the red version always looked dull and washed-out, even when new.I agree! The red always looked more like pink to me. The blue looks much nicer. Shep Shepherd and ed5000 2
steve_earwig Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 The Eagle Talon That sounds like the punchline from a joke about someone with really bad crow's feet.

fred Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Always blue - 'Blue blue Electric blue' as was the starter theme tune for many a soft porn film from oddly enough Electric Blue - back in the day! - Junkman 1
Junkman Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Looks like the frog's electrics are fucked as normal A bit of meaningless information: The rectractable hardtop on the Peugeot 402 Eclipse was manually operated.
Junkman Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Well, red is unacceptable unless it's Pogweasel Pink.
HillmanImp Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I have never seen a blue one IRL. There were plenty of red ones around when I was growing up but have never registered a blue one until the advent of t'interweb. The blue looks nicer on t'interweb too. I wonder if it just doesn't look so fab IRL for me to only have seen red?
HMC Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Just like the actual eclipse I recon I last saw one of these in 1999. HillmanImp 1
burraston2006 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Seen a couple of blue ones down here in the west country and I must say they look far better than the red. ( I was bum raped by the MIL into buying hers when she fxcked off. It was laquer peel red ( the car !). It was a bag of shite!) There fore if it's blue I'm in if it's red I'm out!
