I was out today on my bike and while cycling through Cobham and was overtaken by a lime green Plus 4 resplendent with a driver wearing a leather hat with ear pads (it was about 30 degrees at the time). He was being followed closely by an Allard open tourer probably mid 50's making a very satisfying quiet rumble.
It had me wondering about how varied the Morgan palette is these days. The current buyers seem to have taken the colour options seriously and liberated themselves from the Red/BRG preferences of days gone by. When we searched for our 4 seater we found only two available in the region one became ours, in Jaguar Gunmetal Grey, and the other had a finish that varied between purple and green depending on your viewpoint.
While I might not choose lime green I like the new wave of bright and clever colours that recent Morgans owners have chosen, what's you favourite modern colour?
Hi,
Now I wonder if the purple/green one was the one I chose? It is painted in the style of more recent TVRs and does take on different hues in the sunlight. The colour is Pearlescent Amaranth and can be seen in the Welcome forum "My first Morgan". It's a recent thread.
I did have a Reliant Scimitar which was lime green, in fact it was Reliant Robin Apple Green and there's a story to that but I'll dig out some photos of the Scimitar and my TVR3000S and post them on the "other cars" forum and maybe recount the stories of each. Too busy at the moment trying to get the hang of retirement which I have been doing for almost 20 years.
