Timewaster Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 So the way to avoid future pogweasel warranty claims is to paint everything grey? You could be on to something there. I remember silver BL cars of the 80s rotting even quicker than the flat colours.Allegro Equipe and Mini25 spring to mind.Most Mini25s didn't make it past the third MOT.

Mr Laurence Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I think certain colours belong on certain cars. There is a particular shade of blue which should only be on an invacar. Bright orange is for Bond Bugs. Harvest gold on anything other than a maxi is wrong. JRG on a Lexus LS400 Any others spring to mind?Glad I’m not the only one who thinks this! Nearly all cars have a colour that they just look ‘right’ in. A few I can think of: Brooklands Green on Triumph DolomitesTuscan Blue on early Range RoversRusset Brown on late 70’s MinisBroom Yellow on Fiat CinquecentosMariner Blue on Mk1 Mx5sWedgewood Blue on Rover 75sFantasia Green on VW Lupos LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 My old Fiesta was Colorado Red which I always thought suited it, surprisingly it didn't fade especially badly either. The Aquarius Blue my Focus is in looks nice and bright too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martc Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I think certain colours belong on certain cars. Any others spring to mind? In the early 90's we visited an Italian motorbike importer and my then girlfriend (now the current Mrs martc) asked why they where all red. The shame. I left with a Laverda 750 (in red).

brownnova Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 There was one of these on this colour in Cannock today. The good lady found my description of it as being ‘old lady piss yellow’ rather amusing. Seems accurate to me... sutty2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
