Morrocan Blue is a poor colour for resale, so you maybe better with a more conventional colour

I really like the colour. When you say conventional, are we talking black white or silver/grey here? I dont know much about the trade at this level but Id hope people in this market would be less likely to follow the crowd and go with regular stuff.....says he with a white one!

Moroccan Blue was introduced in 2002 for the launch of the Arnage R & T, and there were several factory cars and demo's built in the colour and it proved quite popular for a short while but once it had gone out of "fashion" it was the kiss of death for those cars residual wise, a bit like Vermilion Red on cars from the late 80's and early 90's . I've no experience of it on the GT so don't know if it's the same case as the Arnage but not having seen one maybe it suits it.

When I sold these cars it was always a pleasure for someone to order what they really wanted instead of what they believed would be the best colour to protect the residual value, which was usually the case. It also depends on how strong the market is, if there's a waiting list then we often took people to Crewe to choose what they wanted from what they could see being built as and when their build slot was available, if the market is quiet then the dealership will choose the spec's for the cars that they think will sell the easiest off of the showroom floor.

Put me down as another fan of Moroccan Blue.

But, yeah, it seems to have gone out of fashion by the time of the Arnage facelift, so I had to settle for Peacock Blue.

Cheers,

Personally, for modern Bentleys I think Silverlake looks awesome, both of my Spurs were in that colour, its a light metallic blue, really catches the light and it is a standard colour.
But as they say, 'beauty is in the mind of the beholder'....
