Remarkably few Firenze Red cars in that photo - lot's of white, black and silver.

I count maybe 10 Red amongst what must be over 200 cars.

RE: Factory Visit

Pleased to hear you think it's grey, if it was silver, it's darker than I expected. It may be for production reasons they group colours together to minimise the colour changes in the paint shop but who knows. However, if this was a representative sample of the colours being chosen, black, white, silver/gray dominate with kermit green being an aethetic stretch too far, same apparaently for Buckingham Blue which would have been my second choice, much easier to look after than black.
Acwats, nice clear shot, what camera ae you using?

Just after I saw the 2013 FFRR on the M40 I saw a Buckingham Blue Coupe coming in the other direction. I must say that on the road it looked my least favourite colour so far. With a Black painted car all the black plastic bits blend in and you get one solid shape, with the lighter colours (and red) the paintwork contrast with the black plastic bits. With Buckingham and Galway (to my eyes) it’s neither one thing nor the other. I am also surprised at the lack of Reds ... however I think that will change when people see them on the road. Remember all the cars you see here were ordered pretty much blind ... and a lot of people may have had the same reaction as me (if you haven't seen it) of a red Range Rover being a bit too much. As I say I think once they are out on the roads that will change.

Sony Cybershot HX7V - about £240 -£280. Only had it 2 months but very pleased so far. I actually incorrectly used the 3D setting when I took the picture

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.
