16V Colours

[mike]

Are some colours more common than others, Black and Green seem to be rare ?? Does this affect price ???

 

[Tom_16v]

[rockport]

White and silver are most uncommon i think

 

[CHR15G]

what about grey?

 

[mike]

Yeah grey seems to be rare. Ive never seen a cherry red one either, is this simply due to the choice of whoever bought the car from new ?

 

[wongy008]

blue most common 2 shades

the i would say red think there are 3 shades

then grey 2 shades

then black 1 shade

then silver

then white

then green there you go ben greeen is the rarest of all valvers ive seen

however i think colour affect how easier there are to sell on too blue being easiest ad most wanted of all colours

 

[Guvnor]

Mines black and you see alot of em in London / Essex that are the same colour.

My Mum had one in what you like british racing green, very nice.

i wouldnt really say that valvers are all that common anyway.

Round my way you hardly see any........

I work at British Aerospace with about 2000 employees and i bet there aint even another one on site.......

Ps mines a Black one.

 

[d_ano]

Dont see that many on the road really and if I could find one with really low milage I would probably buy one - the blue one is still my favourite.

 

[Peel]

65000?- low enough?

 

[Ben j]

i have a spare engine with 69000 on

 

[Em16v]

Green must be the rarest colour, I havent come across one yet! Although there doesnt seem to be many 16vs in my area, Ive noticed more black and red ones than other colours, blue is quite common too. Ive seen one or two grey and silver ones, but was shocked when I saw a white 16v in my town, I hadnt seen one other than mine before!!!!
