Sitting in a café idly watching cars. Have two-tone car sales (separate roof colours) peaked?
What favourite or odd combinations have people seen? I just saw a Citroen with a pale mint green body and a dull red roof (a bit like the colour of a well-worn cricket ball). Unusual, I wonder how they would affect values.

These were incredibly easy to sell at the time, due to the 2 tone paint, if you had two identical Micra's one plain one like this, the two tone ones would sell in a day or two.
