volvoman Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Staying with the "orange" theme...My Micra Vibe is a little darker than Saffron, but when the sun hits it, the colour lightens up a treat. BorniteIdentity, ETCHY and AndyW201 3

JeeExEll Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 Capri 3000E in hi-viz 71 -73 Lemans green. Still would. Not for 30 billion pounds though. And not for every day. Detailed as 'Lime' on VIN plates. Rare colour, I remember it on Escort 1300 Sports around K or L reg. Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire ripper, had a 2000GT V4 'special' Mk1 Capri in this bright colour. Limited edition pre-facelift 71 -72 model with slatted rear window thing from the factory, also available Vista orange or Black (with 1600GT crossflow) at various times. Not very discreet or anonymous. Stuff on the internet if you're interested, details of his Corsairs and Rovers and loads of cars. Turns out his Capri lasted for several years afterwards owned by someone else and was last registered as being black. Maybe one day hi viz green, yellow, or orange could be the only compulsory options. For safety. catsinthewelder, BL Bloke, Essex V6 and 3 others 6

JeeExEll Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Late 1973, for 74. Across the whole UK Ford range this was your choice of colours. I like them all except Sahara. Amishtat, auntiemaryscanary and Walter White 3

Car colours were so much more interesting once. Even well into the 1990's. Then all of a sudden for some reason they got dull as hell !

JeeExEll Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Unusual colour for a Shelby Mustang. Think it's from either 70 or 71. Further inspection shows that this customer didn't specify a vinyl roof. Alan_Green, BorniteIdentity, busmansholiday and 6 others 3 6

JeeExEll Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 Have seen a few (very few) mid 73 - mid 76 Granadas in purple velvet, but never a Ghia or a Ghia coupe. No idea who the bloke in the framed pic is or why his pic is there. Maybe some sort of back-story? Anyway, you could have your Ghiakoop in purple. Didn't know that before.
