Most strange colour.

Weird - like tobacco smoke yellow or white with a "hint of Eggshell"

[Deeman]

Undecided - undecided. (not about me Julie of course, but the wheels)

They look great, keep 'em (& Julie of course)

Here's my old S2. I offered it to Julie, so it would be a his and hers "S" thing, but she couldn't reach the pedals. I wasn't bothered about white at the time, but it doesn't actually look bad IMO

Drill some new holes for the seat and mover it forward?

Hi All
There you have it Bright Red (or any Red) As quoted by Tina Turner "simply the best"

There you have it; close the thread, Alan and Tina are bang on the money, red is the best, though I must say, that whilst I am not a fan of white, Pete's old S2 looks lovely, mind you his V8S looks very nice too, as does Joe's grey and oh, the blue ones, both dark and light blue look great as does the green of J-Lo

When it comes down to it, I am not sure what colour I would choose if I had the choice again.

ETA

Is the off white one called Primrose like the E-Type jag colour? Sort of white with a hint of yellow, not nicotine white.

BRG with biscuit for me..

[v8s4me]

Let's face it, they are all lovely. Now what's the best choice of wheels?

[Deeman]

Joe - don't. That is such a nightmare.

Let the row commence

What do people think is the best colour for an S? Light, dark, metalic, pearl or solid?

Pics would be good too.

Here we go......... this ol chestnut.

The BIG G has a big black one - if he's around he should have a pic.

Bit late to the thread but here is the only one I can find small enough to upload from my phone (courtesy of another PHer from burleigh who I pinched the picture from and can't remember their name ) Will try do dig a couple more out if anyone is interested.

I like the black but some people don't. As with all things, color is so much down to personal preference. I liked mine in black even though it was far from the best car to begin with! Not sure what my personal favourite is though, I think they suit darker, more sombre metallics even though mine is solid!


As for wheels, I like the 8 spokes but love the Oz racing alloys. So much so I havea set of 15" in the loft waiting for a refurb when I can find the spare cash. Look great when polished.

[Alan461]

That is fantastic. Black cars always look good but that is stunning.
Put some more pics on if you can

[tinks v8S]

My other wheels in garage

Glad you like it I'll see what I can do but won't be near a proper computer for a while.

Always enjoy seeing these threads, always some great photos

[AutoAndy]

I think we have all agreed that any colour suits and S as it is a beautiful design....

....for wheels you can't beat the 8-spoke...except perhaps a bigger diameter 8-spoke...mmmmmm


...ooh ambassador Tinks...you spoil us with your Farrero 8-spokes..
