Clean 3500 On ebay

Personally I hate that brown, had a Mini Clubman in it and a Dolly Sprint ... sold both as just could not suffer the colour for long ... reminds me of bathroom suites as a kid, flock wallpaper and soap on a rope :D
 
I quite like it, looks good on a P6, but then I think its a marmite thing.... The only thing I don't like is that Mexico Brown did have a tendency to fade...
 
I really like Mexico when it's in good nick (Though it tends to remind me a bit of Prime Suspect!)
Looks to be a well specced example too, lot's of option boxes ticked at the dealers. I wonder if the 'S' trims and Square-8's were fitted from new. :)

(I'm loving your Avatar btw V8P6B :D )
 
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:
 
I'll agree the 60's were a good tome for car colours or maybe the late 50's - custard colour Ford Consuls and Vauxhall Crestas in various two tone schemes
 
This is another time I wish I was in the UK! - Ah well - before I get too "home-sick" think about price of petrol and housing market!
