Same one at the NEC in 2012, my mate and I couldn't take our eyes off it...




Unusual to see a QPV in green...

Some of my favourite colour choices from Silverstone Classic a few years ago

Caterham Cars have built 60 new Retro Sprint models to,celebrate the 60 years of Caterham.

Some of the cars started on the production line today, and CC shared this picture of one of them in a great retro yelllow colour scheme.

Not usually a brown car fan, but this works for me. Had a really great brown/ mustard interior as well

Always loved the deep blue pearl on my old r32

I used to have a Mercedes W124 in 'Bornite' - a rather strange purple/brown, like this one:

Wish I still had it

Still got mine 280E, wasn't sure about the colour at the time but love it now:

There was a tricked out Impreza on the selling car bit a while back in Lamborghini Grigio Telesto.

Never thought I'd love a grey car!

Likewise I would have said no no no to anything brown until I stood next to this sepang brown beast.

Amazing the difference strong sunlight makes to paintwork. Even in urban Northern England.



Very few of the modern blacks seem to be black, they are more a semi-metallic dark grey in comparison to my old Sierra's Ford Black, which when polished is almost liquid. The recession white / resale silver problem Makes it so frustrating when you are trying to buy a new (second hand) car that is only a few years old

Love the brown Merc. Not my pic but in a similar way this looks great too.

Classic Porsche colour on a not so classic Porsche, here's my Speed Yellow Macan Turbo.

Whilst we all decry the silver/ grey/ black brigade, especially I find with modern Porsches, even I would say that is a bold choice with depreciation/ eventual sale in mind!

Ahhh - Toyota Pink! Lovely when red - three weeks later - pink again. Must have spent as much time t-cutting as washing any other car.

Hence the respray.



I get chauffered around in a blue FIAT sometimes :

I had an E46 compact a few years back in "Ambra" which was an orange/bronze mix.

You could argue someone knocked two paint tins over in the factory to create it.
Definitely a marmite colour (I liked it) and you could never argue it was boring.

I tried for over a year to buy an Intelagos Blue E90 M3 4-door (missed out on one by a day)
I've since relented and just bought an Estoril m135i which although a common colour still looks nice
These days.

Loved my LeMans Blue 325.

We also have a Tahiti Giallo 500f.

We don't do boring shades in this house

And lastly, how about a lovely Healey, taken on a summers day in Cornwall.

Great. Thank you. 40 years ago I used to see Jarama in that colour and loved it.
