As tittle
Ive only ever seen blue, that red/maroon colour and black (in standard guise)
Were they limited to a few colours? :confused:

Probably the full range or nearly.

I've seen white, grey, black, maroon before.

Not as common as hatches remember... except for this years PVS on the PNG stand.

Saloons were available in the same colours as their hatchback counterparts.

I've seen them in Polar/Glacier white, Mexico Red, Magma red, Nick brown, Burgo brown, Porto(?) Blue, China Blue, Champaigne, and the early Green and Beige colours. Also a metallic grey and metallic red/brown colour that I'm not sure of the shade.

I've never seen an original saloon in black or yellow (i.e. one that hasn't been resprayed, although I'm sure they were available), or silk violet (the only one I think was probably not a saloon colour).

I so nearly bought an original black 2 door saloon with red dash.

I think I insulted him when I explained that a B reg 1ltr 2 door saloon was only worth ?300. (it was a bit tatty)
