It's Avus Blue ( a BMW colour I think ) not Avis blue as was in the ad for it - Doh - needs a bloody good clean in and out but is a one owner car found by Sir Roberto Ingleby. Top Bloke....

Are you sure thats Avus, mines the same colour and in the handbook it says Olympic, it is hand writen and may be wrong of course.

cheers

Def Avus - Avus Blue Pearl - seen an Olympic one it was just a touch lighter - this one is between olympic and the starmist midnighty blue

Hello Big Al - thanks for that it was worth the wait. Even though it needs some TLC to bring it up to my (anally retentive ) standard of what is nice condition that is just a matter of time and money.....bloody brilliant tho - still getting used to the attention it receives when you arrive anywhere in it.

John & Tracy,

Did you have a good few days away ?

The car looks the bees pyjamas - I hope you have many happy mile of motoring



Looks a lovely blue - is it a grey or blue interior, the photos a bit unclear.

The original order form he gave me ( he bought it from new ) was Wedgewood blue with darker blue bolsters and dash top. But it looks more like a blueygray than wedgewood to me. That's fine though as I was never really a fan of Wedgewood and the gray looks great - or will do when I clean all the crap off it.

Still bouncing
