Cars in colours you don't see often

A Tamora in Paris Blue, apparently a Volvo colour!

There seems to be an Octavia VRS locally in green, not seen another in this colour and it looks fantastic.

I posted my World Rally Green one a few pages ago but I have never seen another on the road.

I had one and loved it, seen another one locally since but it didn't have the black package so looked inferior to mine!

[RB Will]

I have the black pack lol

There's an E60 M5 Touring local to me that I quite often spot. It's the same colour as this -



Not sure if I'd choose it myself but it does look pretty good.

There can't be many in this colour, surely?

I've only ever seen one (saloon). It was at the scottish car show a couple of weeks ago. Made a great noise!

Another Techno-Violet BMW but this time my old E36





Also Azurite Black (goes a really nice blue in the sun). Only ever seen a couple in the flesh.

Honda did a few for the S2000:



And my favourite - New Imola Orange Pearl:

A guy I know of has one in that colour.



Oh... and it's running 655hp...

So you take a pretty quick RWD car, which is known to be a bit tail happy and seems to have magnetic panels attracted to road furniture, especially in the wet and in the wrong hands, make it up to 655hp and then put the cheapest, nastiest tyres on the driven wheels you can find. I believe those are BCT S800's, I had to put a set of cheap tyres on the E46 for MOT/a month or so, she needed 4 new boots but rears still had life in them, I ended up with BCT S800's, I've had cars with st tyres, but the BCT's, they are up there with Triangle, Linglong and Wanli.

Surprised that hasn't been in a wall/lampost/armco/hedge/sign/fence etc yet, why scrimp on tyres when you're putting that much power down?

Then again I could be wrong and I may have got the tyre tread pattern wrong and they could be good tyres, but they do look like BCT.

306 Rallye in blue, the only one ever made apparently.

Was that one not a GTI-6 given the Rallye treatment by the supplying dealer? I'm sure I've read about that car before...

There's one of these near me,undecided whether I like or not...

[iva cosworth]

To show how near it is I went outside to take a pic.

But it's not there....

[RB Will]

It depends on the light. Lots of sun on it and it's quite pale and odd but cloudy or evenings and it's a nice deep green and looks ace

[Odhran]

Spied 2x nice cars in unusual colours (both red) recently. Spied an F10 5 series M sport finished in quite a light coloured red, akin to Japan red that BMW used offer. And also an Audi A7 S-line in red. Both fairly run of the mill cars but both looked fab in red.

Our Passat is a factory option colour.Pearl effect cobalt blue.

Divides opinion...

I have ordered my DS in Kaikoura Stone. Is this the same colour? I think mine wil be a bit lighter either way, I like that.

Edited by wildcat45 on Thursday 6th August 18:13

The Evoque originaly quoted is Zanzibar, Kaikoura has replaced that and yes it is a shade lighter.

My current demo is this Disco Sport HSE Lux in Kaikoura:
