Car colour choices

[Barry Cade]

Some car colour names are awesome. My faves are old Mopar colors from the 70s.

Go Mango
Plum crazy purple
Sassy grass green
Top banana
Green go
Panther Pink
Vitamin C
Tor Red
Lime light
Lemon twist
Citron yella

And a proper Ferrari should aways be .. Broon!

Mini Sidewalk in Kingfisher Blue with Blue tartan interior.
This is the only car i really hanker after, and hopefully soon might be able to have one in the garage.....

I'm not sure that this is the best colour for a GK but bugger me it certainly looks the part.

That picture, lovely though the colour is, has brought my number-plate rash on.

Mention of Rover reminds me that they went through a phase of having some really nice colours.

I loved Polynesian Turquoise and thought the 200 coupes looked the mutt's in them (apols for wanky chrome grille)



They also had Tahiti Blue which I ordered my MGF in. However, here's anoth 200 coupe because they looked really good in it too.

I still do not think of Rover 600s as being in anything other than Nightfire Red....

A truly iconic colour.

Totally agree about the plates. Should i get the one im after, it will have proper plates and the correct wheel trims...minilites are nice, but not correct here.

Rover did have some cracking colours around this period

Turqoise is a lovely colour, really suits these two.

That Ro80 looks very close to what Mercedes-Benz referred to as Petrol Blue. My 280E was that colour although it was slightly less attractive two-toned as it was with Oxide Red. Still, in my opinion, the best colour for a W123.....

Better than that Dogdick Pink they did, anyway.

Primer beige always made them look unpainted too.
