Cosworth Blue anybody?

Over on our RRS sister forum there is a thread about a wrapped RRS2 out in Australia that is a very splendid shade of blue. It's a wrap but a very good one and the brushed stainless steel effect roof wrap compliments it well, thread with photos here http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic36732.html Could be easily persuaded to do that to mine, but would leave the roof black, and bumper trims black I think, otherwise too many colours, although I do like the brushed stainless effect on the roof of that one.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Cosworth Blue anybody?

Kahn have been using a similar shade of 'imperial' blue for a number of years on their RR's, along with the brushed roof, so I guess that's where he go the idea for it.

RE: Cosworth Blue anybody?

I agree with Phil, the current blues are poor.

I saw an old RR Sport in what turned out to be Bali blue, close to the blues shown here and much better that the dull Buckingham/Loire blues.

I do think the RR colour palette is dull. Take out the colours on the white-silver-grey-black axis and what are you left with?

It's about time too that LR offered paint-to-sample as an option...

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR
