Ghosty Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I know it's barely a colour but I really like how modern Binis come in cream/Old English White (or as they call it, Pepper White), as opposed to appliance white (probably 'cause it'd look shit). That's the mother's, with her old one behind it. Red and cream were the no cost option colours on R56s, they've switched to cream and a weird mango colour for some reason now.

mercrocker Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The "Gordini" blue is an approximation of the French racing colour (a bit variable, like our own BRG) which was naturally adopted by Gordini racing cars before they became a part of Renault. Not all Renault Gordinis were finished in it, just as not all Lotus Cortinas were white with a green flash but it was clearly extremely popular.....I don't recall it being offered on any non-Gordini Renault models.

Thanks for this - that is why the 'Alpine' cars were often in the same livery! I owned a Renault 5 Gordini in silver, for a while (won't make much fuss about that 'colour' on this thread) but don't think the R5 was ever available in 'Gordini blue'.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The 17 Gordini wasn't either, I had a purple one in my youth and intended to paint it blue with a white stripe. Luckily it did a Renault and fucked up before I could do it so I swapped it for 2000E Cortina.I know, I know , but I needed to get to work!

DSdriver Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Yellow cars are a great idea if you need a car that is less conspicuous on the back of an AA wagon.What have we got ?Erm... oh yes, a DS23 in Delta Blue, a Volvo 949 estate in a sort of greeny blue, a Saab 9.3 in midnight blue with navy floppytop and the Peugeot 206 of last resort in resale silver.DS in the vinyards by Jean-Pierre Declemy, on FlickrAs snapped by Heidel_Kakao before we swapped and he got my XM estate of similar hue.No pics of the Saab, it will probably look black in a photo anyway.
