Cars in colours you don't see often

My old MD had a Z3 in this colour, swapped it for an A class in a similar disgusting hue when his twins were born

Liking that one!

Mini did a JCW in a dark green, very limited edition, and worked much better in the flesh than the pictures but not seen one since soon after it was launched.




Almost painted my Tuscan in this colour... Dark Fantasy, offered as a special order from Rover!

Both wrong-it was called Print/Capri Blue if memory serves. A wonderful colour-I always wished my ST170 was in that shade instead of Moondust Silver.

My old E36 328i Sport in Velvet blue:

Got much more purple when the sun came out!


Only ever seen one other on the road.

talking of rare Fords, I recall the XR3i being available in a pale yellow colour. Sounds gash but was actually quite nice. Didn't see many around.

Your right, always wanted my dad to get one in this colour, safe to say he was having none of it

Alright you win

What a gorgeous motor!

A V8 Esprit. Plenty of GT3s in Chrome Orange but only a very small handful of V8s were ever made in this colour.

More innocent times?

No front wing indicator repeater either.
