Its all down to taste ... I deliberated long and hard over the colour to paint my car, green as original, blue, red, orange, yellow (all original colours as per P6 range). Apart from the red, which is a nightmare to match and does not weather well, I sacked the whole P6 range off ... it seemed all the colours were too 1970's, the new age of brown derived, new age colours, YUCK. The 1960s were the best time for car colours, so I decided on a 1960s Rover colour. Black sills, black vinyl roof and D posts, with bright silver Minilites and P5B Silver Birch bodywork. Inside black boxpleat leather, with black fur flex and charcoal grey carpets. .. oh yes and lowered by 1 1/2", sat on 195/70/14s and a 200 brake injected TP V8. Not a car for the purist, but a colour I like and a car that has been modernised so as it can be a daily motor, runs on straight unleaded, does not wallow around corners and will outpace most modern traffic. :idea:
