Different colours suit different cars. My choices wouild be:
Cerbera = Yellow - it's the ONLY colour for a cerb
T350 = Blue
Tamora = Black
[Road] Tuscan = Silver or Blue
Race Tuscan = Purple
Chimaeras = BRG, Red or pretty much anything bar yellow
Griffs = That greeny/blue colour I don't know the name of, but definitely not yellow.

All IMHO....

So, yes, if its a Cerb, it just has to be yellow.

It keeps all the bugs in one area, so that the general public can look at all the other cars free from insect infestation.

Errrm - the yellow Griff which was in this area till recently looked great....

If you want a look, check the double page piccy inside the cover of Sprint June 2002 or the front cover of Sprint Feb 2003.

Yellow is a great colour for a Tiv

Don't agree, black doesn't show the lines of the car as well as lighter colours. I'm biased because ours is Halcyon Midas pearl (yellow), which I think is the best colour for showing the lines. In May 2002 at the factory we saw the press Tamora body shell glinting in the sunshine shortly after painting (Halcyon Midas pearl) and it looked fabulous. We spent the next 9 months looking for a better colour (including more factory visits) before committing to a colour - we didn't see a better colour.

All IMHO of course!
