Petrol Blue 182 & My Other Cars



  Ferrari & Trophy 306
Hi Guys,

I have just acquired another 182 in Petrol Blue. I had a thread previously under a different account for the last one which was sold and exported to France; here is the link and the last picture I have:

I ended up with a 200 (hence not been on here as much) but have quickly come back to a 182 in the form of another Petrol Blue. I’ll get this thread started primarily for updates on the PB which I reveal
shortly also to show any others I have as I buy a few and also change my daily every few months too.

I moved to a Trophy first with a Ferrari California 30 for the summer:

I then recently had a 200 which I now have alongside a Porsche Turbo (4WD for the winter lol):

For those into other cars; I’ve had a few different daily’s in the last 12 months (most people don’t believe me when I tell them the Clios are my weekend cars that live in the garage but I love them as much if not more) here are a couple I have found pics of:

As I say, I will reveal the new Petrol Blue and progress once I’ve started and have some pictures to share.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi chris, I knew you would be back in another one sooner or later. Looking forward to seeing this one. If your others are anything to go by it will be very smart.

Cheers buddy, it’s booked in straight away for a list of works but it’s a very tidy car as is so won’t take much.

A lot better overall to be fair; and Gary just had it paint corrected and detailed in the days before I collected so it’s as good as it could be. Just needs the roof doing to complete.

Looks fantastic.

Did the 200 not hit the spot like a mk2?
I literally just got asked by someone on Instagram my thoughts on this so I’ll paste what I said:

“The 200 does everything as well if not better. The problem is that due to its size and more modern styling it lacks character. For me the 182 marks the last of the small chuckable fun hot hatches from the era. The 200 I found a touch boring because it’s too refined if that makes any sense. If I wanted a daily or a track car then 200 all the way, but for just a fun once in a blue moon drive then the 182 provides more smiles.“

Anthracite does look good on the titanium but a bright silver also looks clean. Either way they do a great job mate, had them do intricate Aston Martin diamond cut wheels and also some Porsche wheels where I needed a hand painted pin stripe on the rim. Always been perfect.

From a distance looks Blue then up close changes to more of a green before going to gold in sunlight. Car was called petrol blue; but they were all registered as green on the V5’s etc which I always found strange.
