My local BMW garage had a 4 Series in this colour outside not long ago, stood out well in the sea of grey.

Seen a few Dakar yellow e36 and e92 but a particularly rare colour on the e46. I never thought it suited it until I saw my first one in the flesh at TOTB



Sorry for the phone quality picture

Something tells me this may go on to become one of the most common colour ST's in the near future, i know of 2 people who have ordered theirs in that colour, and 2 more who are just waiting for lease deals to end and they will be doing the same.

Does look good though.

I pretty much hanker after any car in that primer grey colour especially fast Audis and the Clio 200.

Do you mean Nardo Grey? If you do, I have a photo!


Source: Audi City/Forum London on a walk around last summer.

Also a fan of Nimbus Grey from the Mk1 TT, with the baseball stitching on the seats.

Nardo Grey on an RS4, Nimbus on a TT, Storm Grey on a Clio 200... If I was to spec a new car it would be the colour I'd choose.

Looking at these nuggets of russet excellence reminds me just how popular flat (non-metallic) brown used to be.

Weird. This was a friend's first car. We drove it to the South of France in 1996 I think. 4 up with luggage. On the way back we got 8 cases of cheap wine in too. The rear suspension collapsed on the M6 near Birmingham and it had to be brought home on a flatbed while the 4 of us drank all the wine.

Happy days. You're still missed The Flying Poo.

Mercedes Cubinite Silver was always a rare colour it looked good though.

Del boy yellow?

Citrine yellow

You could apply a yellow highlighter to this and it was invisible.

We had to pass the quiet time somehow when I sold Fords in the early 90s.....

I think the dagenham boys took inspiration from OFAH.
