Cars in Colour

[Richard_FM]

My daily driver is what Nissan calls Pacfic Blue, though it's more of a green.

The newer Micra is a bit more colourful.

Just posted this in the eBay tat thread. It’s a BMW Individual order of AC Schnitzer’s Lila Metallic - I think it’s utterly lovely. More cars should be purple I reckon.

Aubergine if I'm not mistaken.

Mine was that colour, although not quite as polished. TLO 540G.

Just think of the fun you could have,

Just seen this thread. Is this really yours? It’s fucking gorgeous. I don’t think I have ever seen a better looking car in my life.

Yes, it’s mine. Thanks for the comment!

I made a little film about it ;

Fantastic. The car and the film.

Great video. Apologies - I don’t know much about your work but you’re effortless in vision, even around the detail. I imagine you’re too busy earning a living to make many videos like this but it’s brilliant. Oh, and the drone shot is both wonderful and wonderfully self indulgent. Great, great work.

Wow! That’s very kind of you, thanks!

I don’t make many films nowadays, the internet wants “ Hypercar clickbait OMG crazy shit “ , not some bloke in his 40s enthusing about old stuff.

Yes and no.  There's definitely an appetite for this sort of thing.  But, as most "OMGYOUTUBERS" are learning - the only people making money are Google.  

"Slightly eccentric enthusiast with sharpened moustache drives lovely examples of old cars" might not trip off the tongue - but you'd get an audience.

I love Estoril blue but BMW's inability to paint match the rear bumper and rear quarter on brand new £40k+ cars really irritates me. That is stunning otherwise! Must have missed you post about this one! 

I like a nice blue myself:

Thanks! I know what you mean I think it's common with many wet based paint car manufacturers these days. 

 

Didn't make a post about it as it isn't very Autoshite ? 

 

That looks class ?

This one really glowed in the sun

I've always liked Falcons in this aqua colour called "Breeze":

[Jamie]

i have a thing for buying a car 'in colour' rather than on condition etc, but i've bought my wife a Z4 ruby black individual, looks black most of the time but in the sun looks like this

Thanks. I’ve met Colin, he’s way more interesting than me!

I’ve done a few films, if you like that then find my Autozam one, that was fun.

Unfortunately, there isn’t an awful lot of info about it in English, but when Lancia launched the Y in 1995, they also introduced the Kaleidos option - a selection of special order paint colours. This meant that the Y was offered in 112 different, and nearly all interesting colours
 

One of each colour: (edit - I counted and there’s 56 cars there. This was only half of the options!)

The dealer display boards showing all of the Kaleidos colours
