In about 93 I had an orange Allegro (1500HL iirc).

It got respec'.
The girl I sold it to stuck black spots on it do it looked like a ladybird.










(I'm aware that's not a 1500 but more like an Allegro 2, but you get the gist.)
I hankered after one of these in this colour for my first car back in 1986.

I ended up with a powder blue Chevette.....
I also had a powder blue Chovette!

I just remember that Allegro was mint as it'd been Ziebart'ed. smile

I saw one of these on Sunday:



I was absolutely delighted; the last time I'd seen one on the road was about 20 years ago! They also came in green - is that where Ford got their inspiration for the fast Focus colour charts...?!

The first page had some yellow ones so I thought I'd mix it in.

Then I realised I looked like a dick and deleted it hehe

You quoted me first though.

No mention of the 1m yet? Looks awesome in orange! I think orange is one of the only colours that can really pull off black wheels, too.

Hmm quite a few colour-blind PHers posting on here. Coincidentally I am also considering buying an orange Grande Punto Sporting for the Missus. I've always thought the colour suited them.

I have a purple car. When looking for a car a year ago I had the rough spec I wanted and went looking for cars which weren't silver. There were a few "gay gold" but purple fitted the bill and was closest.

Do I care what people say about the colour? No, I'm happy being different thank you very much.

Actually the colour seems to matter less to people compared to the age, the mileage and the fuel type. Still couldn't care less though!

I wanted an orange Ralliart but there were no decent ones apart from one that was in Milton Keynes, I don't like travelling far for a car so I got a black one that was nearby.


I do see an orange one in York quite a bit, it does look great.

In the past I have mainly gone for sensible, safe colours such as silver and errr silver.I have now gone for an orange Cayman S Sport.So far peoples responses have been very positive but there is a niggling feeling that this car/colour combo might attract the wrong sort of attention.

For those of you that have had bright, dare I say, in your face cars what have been the positives and the negatives??
The one from Leicester OPC?

The best car I've ever had for turning heads, people taking pics etc.

Both the above pics are a bit "dull" this is a google pic of one in the sun

Never seen an orange E46 before! Is that an 'Individual' colour option?

I've got a nice, subtle, Tangiers Orange Range Rover Sport! Sadly for sale, but I do love it and generally get odd looks/laughter and "that rocks" comments!
