Might be alone in this, but to young for any of the above varieties!

Absolutely loved the VTS when it was released, never such a fan of the facelift with those round lights though.

I'd completely forgot about the Aston Martin Bulldog, what a machine. Shame they only built one. Cool colour scheme too.

A one-off special so not a production car, but couldn’t resist sharing Eric Clapton’s gorgeous 2012 458 SP12. Commissioned to give the look of a modern BB, must be one of the prettiest 2-tone cars ever. And possibly priciest at $4.7m...

Achieving a two tone paint job on a mass produced car must have been a paint shop nightmare what with all the masking and taping required; everything must have been done by hand.

Some of those are just large plastic side skirts that give a two tone effect.

A lot of 70s/80s cars ended up looking similar when the bodged rust repairs were undertaken, with a ride mark of Matt black paint!

So... No votes for Peugeot's recent efforts then?



Thought not!

I painted my old Stratos rep. two tone. This was taken at the PH, NEC show, some years ago.

Wide stripe rather than two tone?

Recently I think the Chiron does it best.



A very striking design. You can recognise it from about 2 lines drawn.

I always think that looks like one car giving birth to another

It's just emulating what Bugatti have done in the past:

No, this is one car giving birth to another

Actually, thinking about it, two tone paint schemes have been around a while:














Unsure if this one is a factory scheme or not.

In my youth, I would routinely covet two-tone Sierras, most notably...

Ford Sierra 2.0i GLS (complete with "dustbin lid" wheel trims)



Ford Sierra Sapphire 2000E

There were several lush Rover 75 Duotone combinations available from the factory including:

Can somebody with more internet skills than me get a pic of the silver and navy Morgan Aero 8 GTN up please.

And this colour combo on a Skyline:

Lancia Ypsilon, too much class.
