Silver is the best colour for keeping clean. Period. For various reasons my Jazz hasn't been cleaned in 2 months, shame on me, but it still looks clean from the other side of the road!
Brilliant photos Jocko. I've have 3 Saabs. '88 Red 900i 4dr man, '89 White 9000 Turbo16 5dr man and '08 9-3 1.9TiD Vector Sport auto in black, cream heated leather. Always was a fan of Saab cars.
Vx Carlton. Had the 1.8 base manual in pale blue. Paid buttons for it and ran for a few months.
Brightest colour cars were my Bamboo green '79 Citroen Dyane and a bright yellow '78 one. My CX was beige with the beigest interior of any car ever. So early 80's. Few bright red Fords and a couple of red Renaults. Nothing crazy bold.
You know, I was watching an old TopGear the other day from the early naugthies when Clarkson took a Lupo TDi round the M25 for economy purposes. The roads were filled with regular hatch backs and saloons in loads of different colour. Only the odd proper 4x4 in sight. These days, monocrhome bland boxes looking the same.
As you say, they make what sells. Families used to be quite happy in an Escort or Golf weighing <1000kg. These days they all 'need' >1500kg SUV's. Groan.
