A White Audi TT looks rather swish I think, kind of suits it.
Nice Crisp white

Black I feel makes it look rather drab.
The Back one, not my favourite colour

Well RED shouts, sports...fun... just look at me!........... and occasionally I would imagine shouts STEAL ME!

Oh, definitely the red out of that selection. Looks nice to me.

Audi TT seem to default to the monochrome silver - grey - black. With the "imaginative" ones picking that bloody awful mat primer grey (Nardo grey?) that's in fashion at the moment.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the Nardo looks like primer!! :-D

WB and Sons have got this one coming up in their September sale.

Needs mentioning on this thread of course, described as a Mini Mayfair Cabriolet 1983.

Not that keen on the wheels and arches, or the exhaust, give me the standard look any day of the week.

Not much background info as yet but there is the usual video walkround and start up.

The hood looks like a horse blanket thrown over a tea trolley.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

A related pair of roadsters. The original Tesla Roadster 2008-2012 was based on a Lotus Elise Chassis developed and supplied by Lotus from their HQ in Norfolk and the 2 cars shared other commonality in parts.

Here is what appears to be a very nice example of the Daimler Dart, oddly a car which I've never been able to like, don't really know why but they just don't do it for me!! :-D
