Oh man, I am totally in love that that! Hyper-snot!

Was in a factory in Malvern today.

The gold wheels look great with that colour.  This is what they looked like on mine:

1980s 924

Here’s a much less offensive blue 4x4

[Aston Martin]

I probably posted one of these before and I don't care, it's amazing.

[motorpunk]

That Alfa is bloody amazing! 
I’m not nuts on this Moggy colour, but it makes a pleasant change from the usual BRG and blues these tend to be specced in.

Are they normally black on the sill strengtheners? Might just be the colour playing tricks on me but didn't think they were usually that visible

Don't the later ones have a body kit which covers it? Trigger's is a pretty early one.

Those sill strengtheners are a strong contender for the 'once seen cannot be unseen' thread. Despite going back a long way with 1970s and 80s Folksfarkens, I'd never spotted them on the earlier cabs before. The bodykit did well to hide them later on. Covering them with black paint definitely tones them down significantly! They look a bit 'Bardot with a belly'...

I don't know if these have been posted but...

^ Atol Green (I think)

^ Lemon Yellow

^ Fantasy Green.

[Yoss]

I'm pretty sure that Fantasy Green is what was called Atlantic Green on the Felicia.

Aye that's the one. They must have changed the name. It's a shame Skoda didn't keep that colour for later models. I keep seeing the occasional Mk3 Fabia in yellow and I think it looks okay, I prefer a Mk1 though.

Fantasy Green sounds more cheerful I guess. But they also had Pacific and Adriatic blues for the Felicia and Favorit so it was part of a theme I guess.

That's stunning!

[Aston Martin]

Here's a boring Lexus something in boring white. 

 

 

😮

[Aston Martin]

Here's a fuck me Lexus. What kind of maniac orders this?

[Schaefft]

The red and beige are a common color combo for them, and if I had 50 grand a V8 LC500 in exactly this color combo would be the first car I'd buy. Unless they ever make the blue interior available more broadly.

[AnnoyingPentium]

Ah to hell with it I'm putting my own car forward...

Ford pretty much covered the seven seas ( and more) with their blues in the 70s and 80s. I had a Baltic blue Fiesta in 1982 , the year before it was Atlantic blue, it looked the same to me.

Wolfsburg staff car park I reckon going by the WOB registrations. 

[Aston Martin]

Fabulous combo.

[bunglebus]

Different strokes for different folks - personally I think that interior is vile, especially against the blue

[bunglebus]

Tried to get a pic of the union jack roof hence the jaunty angle

[Aston Martin]

This is a real 355.
