Cars in colours you don't see often

[sinbaddio]

My R129 SL - the kind of colour that comes and goes.....

[Gilhooligan]

Can't be too many Corsa's in this purple. Not a bad colour for a pretty bland/ generic car.

This looks good!

on AutoTrader I've seen a couple of Mk 7.5 Fiestas in Candy Red, thought you could only get that colour on the Focus

Someone on our complex has just taken delivery of a Mk7 Fiesta which I saw for the first time this afternoon in this colour, it looks lovely

Mercedes' Designo colours are rather nice. Some are more common than others, the Designo orange however is very unusual. I wouldn't mind this one.

Just before the whole VW nonsense my dad was looking at getting a Passat Alltrack in Crimson Red which seems a pretty rare colour, even though it looks awesome.

£610 for that colour.

£910 for Habanero Orange



I wouldn't worry too much about the Volkswagen issue. They say the safest restaurant to eat in is the one recently forced to up its game by the health inspector and the same principle works elsewhere. Buy something else and the manufacturer could be mired in scandal next week.

Bit of a thread bump as I spotted this last night and thought it looked terrific;


The image doesn't quite capture just how vivid the colour was, most impressed

Fixed for people without sideways heads.

Although you see many white evos. I had 1 of only 4 white FQ400s



Current daily not often seen in this colour

My dad had one as a company car in white

How's about this then, a Peugeot 205 T16 in black. The only one in the world.



Plus a bonus 205 GTI. Both 205s are obscenely low mileage & impeccable condition. I was lucky enough to be invited to Castle Combe to babysit them for the day whilst they were on display an got to drive the GTI but sadly not the T16.

Plus a slightly biased one here as it's mine, I believe there are under 10 nugget yellow Corrados in the UK an barely few hundred worldwide.

There is a yellow corrado parked on a driveway near one of my mates, its been there years and has truly been left to the elements, makes me sad. Duno if its originally that colour or not though

that's a shame, i'd have another an make a pair!

I've seen a couple that have faded so badly that they almost look white - in fact they go a similar pale yellow as the ROver in the OP.

Oh I'm not so sure Vauxhall made loads of pink cars in the late 80's and early 90's

Just trying to remember the colour



it's on the tip of my tongue






I remember "Flame Red"

It makes me recall a conversation I once had with a prospective purchaser....

What colour is the Corsa?
It is apache red.
Do you have one that is red all over?

A colour briefly available on the Vauxhall Adam, Pink Kong.

Here are some of the "usual unusual" suspects.

I would like to comment the Kia Soul (the hatchback which is showing us its a***). It's difficult to see in any photograph, but, in real life, this creamy tan colour resembles a wet ceramic vase.

The color was available a few years ago, but apparently not now. And it was a range of earthtone colours, from light to dark. The point is: the car looked as if it was made of ceramic. That was something new for me.
