Would you ever buy a brown car?!

Seem to remember "Blaster" Bates painting an old van yellowey brown - it was nicknamed the flying sh!te. When he got wealthier he bought a Range Rover the same colour but it was called Safari yellow, he reckoned it was something to do with the price

10 years ago no one would buy a white car (well nearly no-one, I did coz it was cheap), now they seem to be becoming the in thing (and I bet white is an optional extra now).

A Marina was a pile of poo, it suited it to be brown..

He had the hatchback version, the handling was that good that if he went round a corner at more than 20mph in the wet the back end became the front.:rotfl:

Hey, at the right price... if brown cars are so undesirable then chances are they sell cheaper, which would make it all the more desirable to me... couldn't care less about colour!

Back in the 70s, a man who lived in our street had a Hillman Hunter. Even as a child I felt sorry for him. He obviously didn't care what colour of car he drove either - his wife didn't drive and he had 2 little boys and his car was the colour of Pepto Bismol. :eek:

Yeah it used to be a really poor colour for a car. I reckon brown could be popular really soon. People love to be different in their choices.

I once bought a brown Mk2 Astra for £100, however the VIN colour code claimed it was burgundy and a quick check on the inside of the door frame confirmed that this was once the case.

Should I have updated the logbook from red to brown even though the car had never been resprayed?

Something a bit different isn't it?

I'm sick of resale grey.
