Is colour important to you
Jump to: Newest in thread
Not particularly.
Even when I've been buying a car for pleasure rather than practical purpose, which I honestly don't see the point of now with all the speed cameras.
I had a British racing green BMW I really liked with tan leather seats. I wasn't keen on the interior at first, but it grew on me. My fav car was a White Prelude import, I didn't want white particularly either. I just loved how that car handled |

Nope. Although I prefer cars that don’t show up the dirt as I very rarely wash my cars (about once a year).
My last car was black and I kept getting the feeling folk were waiting for me to burn them off at the lights.

I'm not a fan of true red or white cars
Only ever had a true red one as a company car
Had one white one. I was constantly demented by how dirty it got
My current one is YELLOW, not yellow, but YELLOW
Thankfully, it has a black roof which tones things down a bit  |

My first was silver, second was black. Third I had no choice over, as it was a hand-me-down, but was also black.
My current is a sort of teal colour. Chosen as I decided it looked the best of the options available. It was a close call between a dull gold, metallic dark red, or the teal. The black and dark grey versions looked a bit crap against the matt black wheel arches/bumpers.
But I think it depends on the car itself, as to the colour which best suits. |

"Fair majority of my cars have been black, my current one "jizzmine" is black.
Is it a small Honda?
Alright, stalker alert lol x
Of course it's a Honda Jizz!  
"
I used to know someone who had an off-white one. Make of that what you will! |

"I picked a colour I can find in the car park again and only seen one other the same colour as mine so far when out n about. "
I have only seen two the same colour as mine in almost a year, and keep seeing the same, identical on parked next to me in Sainsburys carpark. It's not due to drink or concussion that I see double.  |

"Brown
Do they still send brown ones?
I thought British Leyland used all the brown paint up on the Maxi and the Allegro 
We have a brown car well actually dark bronze.
Austin Maxi "
I'd like a car with a front bench seat so the dog can sit next to me
I secretly admire the Maxi  |

In the late 1970s Vauxhall marketed their Cavalier in Lime Green. Obviously all private buyers shunned that colour, so fleet buyers and Companies bought them at a big discount.
Some marketing guy at Vauxhall analysed the sales figures and concluded Lime Green was the preferred colour of fleet buyers and increased production.... you couldn't make it up |

I drove to Swansea yesterday (about an hour) and felt there were more green cars around at the moment. I could be wrong, of course!
I then thought that the seemed a bit harder to see from certain angles. They blended with the trees and vegetation on the roadsides a quite a bit.
It wasn’t the most scientific of studies, admittedly. |

They say beggers can't be choosers... I was fortunate enough to have enough money to choose my current car. Previously I could only afford £1k bangers that might last me a couple of years if I was lucky. Take the best deal at the time, who cares about the colour.
My current car is black, my first black car too |
