Paint to sample Viper Green, I call her Kermit
Love it.
Lancia and 1300E are nice too! Heck there some lovely motors here, those old Jags .

Whilst it's not a colour that massively stands out it is a colour that I think is very different and looks great.

What is this colour, I've seen an M3 in that and always wanted to know.

I'm a sucker for a nice blue and Yas Marina blue on an M3/4 or Miami Blue on a 991 are current faves.

My daughter is obsessed with what she calls 'Teal Blue' on a MINI. That pastel greeny blue they do. I don't think I'm going to get away with buying her anything else in 7 years!

And if I had to choose a white, does it look any better on one of these (the equal favourite car of all I've owned...

Had my Autumn bronze Evora S for a couple of year. Colour totally made it. Was an epic car anyway but in this colour it turned every head on the street.

Not so much yesterday as mid-morning - these factory colours always gave me the fizz though:

Laguna Seca blue
Yes yes yes. One of the best colours ever(sorry for pic size):

Only Riviera Blue looks better IMO:

Or the luscious green of my beloved TVR, so deep you felt you could practically swim in it (no jokes about leaking roof panels etc please!!)..

Nice contrasting interior too...


















Reminds me of BL's Limeflower, looks better on the Porsche though...








My 'Barossa' purple Cooper S, difficult to get an accurate rendition of the colour...

My Imperial Blue TVR

it is an unusual colour, sometimes it looks purple, sometimes it looks blue and dependent on the light it can appear a lot darker or lighter than it really is.

I never thought I would warm to this colour. It changes so much in different light, which I suppose keeps it interesting.

Is it BMW Sakhir Orange Andy?

We've been discussing this 620R after seeing at the showroom, but it does not look like the same BMW sakhir orange he, despite assurances it is painted in that colour frommthe factory.

It's a stunning colour though. It makes the 620R look very special and pretty unique I think, we don't know of any other Caterham's painted in that colour.

Couldn't say it any better. So much cooler than a Daytona.

Our streets and roads show grey, black, white and sometimes dark blue cars.
I thought this until yesterday when going for breakfast with the south coast PH clan. It would appear we all don't like grey.

Personally I think there should be a £1,000 'boring' tax placed on any new car ordered in black, grey, silver or white, that should shake the market up a bit!

Green is my favourite, in fact all my vehicles except for my 1956 grey Fergie are green ;-)
