Two Tone Cars

[nagsheadwarrior]

Im a big fan of two tone cars,I love silver over blue Capris,Mg Magnettes and even a green over gold Shogun!

So,whose got/had one?

Are any proper two tones still available now and if not what was the last?

[rohrl]

Mercedes were still doing two tone in the early 90s on the W124 and early W140s. I can't think of anything much newer than that.

Never had a two tone car myself unless you count rust.

You could count cars like the Citroen DS3, Vauxhall Adam and Renault Captur as two tone because the roofs and pillars are a different colour to the rest. You can have Rolls Royces and Bugatti Veyrons as two tone. Other than that I think the last properly two tone car where the top half was a different colour to the bottom half was the Rover 75. You could specify it like that if you wanted, I saw a silver over maroon one in Ambleside in the Lake District a few weeks ago.

My brother bought one of those to use as a workhorse when he was doing his house up. It was darker blue but the rust was in exactly the same place. Lovely old thing it was.

Great cars - very solid in all the right areas, feels like it would survive a nuclear war and still going strong on 227k. Not that I'm selling it or anything

[PlayersNo6]

I'm a fan.

82 Capri 'Calypso' - Titan blue and Stratos silver (I also got the bonnet centre panel sprayed in silver to match) :



90 Mercedes 190E - Signal red with Tartan red lower cladding (a shade darker) :

I feel a bit dirty for saying it but I really like that.

[budfox]

I had a two-tone Escort MKII - Most of it was light blue but the nearside passenger door was red.

It does seem to have had a resurgance in the 80's/90's. Both my nice wagon and my daily hale (hail?) from that period. I love it, I always hated it when my mates colour coded everything on their car, as I think it gives the car more impact than just being a blob of colour. Might be retro now, but I still think it looks great.
