I have always liked a bright non metallic red:
Is it just me, or has that photo given the car really odd proportions? Like it’s squashed a little in the middle? Perhaps it’s then abundance of black around the wheels...

Our 335d in Purple Silk gets my vote! Biased though!

Stunning coolcool
Agree. smokin

I've never had a Purple car but I've always wanted one though, and this photo cements to me why I have. Very nice.
That is seriously lovely.

Friend of mine had an E46 M3 back in the day in Estoril blue, that looked lovely in the sun.

The E-Pace just has strange proportions full stop!

It looks narrow but is really wide and looks squashed but is actually quite long

Plus the huge rear arches mean you can see bugger all out of the door mirrors

I got rid about a year ago but I am sure it won’t be my last bright red car...

I wonder how closePurple Silk is to Thundernight. This M3 sold yesterday and was detailed a year or so ago by Jim at White Details

Very similar,but I would say Thundernight is slightly darker from the photos I've seen,not seen it in the flesh yet though,mines a few weeks away.....

The Retropower Morris Minor has had the shell painted now, it's a custom shade of purple based on Rolls Royce Twilight https://www.instagram.com/tv/CbGH0jmAlX5/?utm_medi... . This will probably be shown now on next week's Retropower Uncut video on YouTube.

Relex purple on a TVR



Any excuse to post a pic of the tuscan I'll pick up on Fridaybiggrin
Nice yes
Now it is in my possession ... look at how ridiculous it is !

Utterly ridiculous - I love it!

Congratulations!

Lots of shouts for purples on here - I concur. So many manufacturers now offer such boring colours.

Having said that, FIAT beige daino & Honda graphite grey are fantastic if you CBA to clean the bloody things all the time.

One year later, still love it:





The attention it receives is quite remarkable, as you might expect. Not a car for a shrinking violet ...

A new favourite for me - Mini Zesty Yellow (also BMW Sao Paolo Yellow)



I've put my money where my mouth is on this one and ordered a John Cooper Works in this shade, so hopefully I won't tire of seeing it laugh

My other car is Silver so it's a nice antidote.

Love the colour. One of my favourite colours was the E36 BMW M3 in pale yellow and the Fiat Coupe in Broom Yellow. If yellow is on the list, it’s a must tick choice.

My other car is Silver so it's a nice antidote.

Jesus, a bit of warning before you post pictures like that. I was on a Teams call with the camera on and suddenly became aroused.

Lovely car, great colour.

Saw a Renault Clio and Megan RS yesterday, both in a bright metallic orange, absolutely stunning colour, made me want to lick the paintwork!!

I saw one in the flesh a few days ago... You're a brave man. I like it a lot, but I don't know if I would go for it, moreover OH hates yellow... which is why I don't have this:

Not my particular car (mine is far more scabby presently) but same colour as this. Wood not yet added to mine.
