Favourite colours for cars

[mickthemaverick]

I'm not sure its a favourite but it certainly makes a pleasant change:



Nice car too!!

There could be a few on here who might just fancy a Citroen SM.

Fair enough have a vitrual one here, but what "factory" colour are you going to choose...

Van spotted a 2-tone recently.....maybe a special order, or maybe the factory churned out a few. Haven't found a pic on the net yet of a two-tone SM but you can have 100 points if you come up with the goods.

Does 3 tone count?:

borrowed from worldwide

Has grey made it to the pages of this thread?

If you are going to have a grey, better make sure its Lunar




A humble 2200SC on the Mathewsons list for 21st September.

That car was originally owned by a certain ex-bank manager Allan Hewitt, founding treasurer of the P6 Rover Owners Club.
I was driven in it by Allan many times, from Surrey to club committee meetings in Warwickshire.
It was always near-immaculate, and a regular winner or runner-up in club concours.
Used as an everyday, the r.m. comes as a bit of a surprise.

I remember we did sort the headlights, though, replacing Rover's original Lucas sealed beams —
u-n-b-e-l-i-e-v-a-b-l-e 37½ watt dip beams — with four new Hella H4 units. A transformation!

This is my favourite colour, favourite car actually - in spite of the failed steering rack!

There are some quite nice shades of grey now, didn't used to like it much - but I am colour blind!

50 at least I believe

An interesting grey can be rather nice . . . but don't tell Jim!

I know somebody who was into marine camouflage. You have to be careful to choose the right shades depending on the location/time/date of the vessel you are trying to disguise. As he had lost one of his colour selection manuals he ordered the book "Fifty Shades of Grey". Boy, was he shocked at what he received!

On the Grey, this was the colour of my 900T, always liked it on the SAAB


My ACTIVA however seems to be a mix of reds that the French bodyshop had remaining on the shelf
