My last one was that colour and if looks were anything had the ability to stay cleaner than the black one I have now Wink Steve.

Mine is Galway Green, which I thought was the best colour.

Having been loaned a Bali blue ?? FL2 HSE I would love a DC in that colour.

Aye, silver not my favourite colour but had it purely for practical reasons. Looks clean when its filthy, hides the scratches and looks crisp and clean in the future. Was tempted by stornoway grey but its abit too common. Doesn't everyone have it in that colour? Was also tempted by keswick green but to me it didn't look right with body coloured roof, arches and alloys.

Yes another vote for silver. I went for it largely because I look the "metal" look (love bare ali LR's!) but also because it's such a practical colour as it hides scratches and dirt so well. It also looks brilliant in the sun but doesn't come out well in pictures! I only wash my wife's silver car literally twice a year Wink

I have had a black car and bike before and it's a nightmare colour, looks great in the showroom but unless you clean it everyday - not so good! I looked at Stornoway but it looked dull if not in direct sunlight, whites a bit of a characterless bland colour I think but red, blue and any green of course looks good. The old Epsom Green was lovely, now called Galway Green now Thumbs Up There that's just insulted half the members here Whistle

I only had to polish this twice in the 3 years I owned it and only wiped it down maybe 4 times a year. Always looked good, good enough even for classic car shows Cool Just doesn't come out well in pictures Sad





By the way I have had no regrets about selling this for my Defender. I haven't even thought about it - the Defender is so much more engaging and use-able :D
