A quick return to green

View attachment 127030

(I'm aware there is a sprinkling of primrose yellow in there) but I also go vaguely green when entering this workshop

The AH Sprite was one of my first cars,i even had a Shorocks Supercharger fitted. I had great fun with that car, small as it was it was amazing what you could do with it!

I don't know how much those Rolls Royce SUVs cost, but really, he chose that colour

You don't see a RR Camargue at the supermarket every day.




Wikipedia: The Camargue received a varied reception, having ranked as one of the "10 Worst Cars"'as chosen in 2010 by readers of The Globe and Mail; having ranked 38 in the 2005 book **** Cars by Richard Porter (the author saying the car "looked utterly terrible" and having ranked 92 in a 2008 poll of the 100 ugliest cars of all time by readers of The Daily Telegraph. Autoblog said the Camargue had been ranked "conspicuously low on the list," adding the Camargue "really was horrid, no matter how well it sold."

Actually, only 531 made, apparently.

... and these are delightfully silly.

If memory serves ..... upon the Camargues release, wasn't it classed as the most expensive production car in the world at the time ?

Yes - the Worlds most expensive production car, back in the day.
Very fine work by Pininfarina, and definitely on my to-buy list. Looked at one at auction last year, but it needed too much work. But I'm primed and ready for when I see the right example crop up. (Very rare in RHD now, unfortunately.)

And apparently, several were turned into convertibles (especially in the USA).

I rather like them too!

RR Carmague, not a fan, not too bad at the front a bit like Lady Penelope's FAB 1 but they go down hill from there backwards. I use to think it was just photos but the more I see in the real world the worse they get - Unusual for me to differ from Ewan from a car styling perspective.

No way. That looks like it was done properly.
