Orange Cars

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Anyone remember the Mirafiori TC from the late 70s. Often came in Orange with black trim. Looked the biz.

This was my Cortina.
I think Orange is a great colour, depends on the car involved. Custom cars, classics, awesome sports cars it is a perfect colour as the cars are designed to stand out and the colour just adds to that positively. A standard car in Orange is wrong in my opinion, like it is trying to be something it isn't!

McLarens always looked good in orange:

I was all set to build a red one... until I saw an orange one on the classifieds and quickly changed my mind:



Needs a carbon exhaust now I think to help with the slightly-obvious-but-still-it-works orange/black scheme

I couldn't read this thread without sharing some of our beauties....

OP here.

So the consensus is Orange cars are cool. There are some beautiful cars on this thread but I realised that I havent posted one of mine. If a kind person wouldn't mind uplifting mine from my profile as I am a bit dense with the picture posting lark.

Nothing more to add to this thread, but some pictures of my P&J. Stunning colour that changes from dark orange to almost yellow in the sunshine. Arancio Atlas Pearl (Lambo orange!..)

No disrespect but this is what I meant. This to me, is an example of a car that should NOT be Orange !!!

I asked this a few pages back, but you must have missed it!

There were two orange ones that I could find, both in Leicester. One at Tollbar and one at the OPC. I went for the OPC one despite having more miles due to the fact that I could get a two year warranty on it. Leicester brought the car down to Mid Sussex OPC and I got it from there.

Have to admit that I am loving the orange
