Big fan of the P6 - so much car for a surprisingly small amount
of money nowadays!

Yes indeed.

Love it.

I guess you're right, it often puzzled me that it was one of the
most popular schemes for a P6. They did come in some seriously
weird colours, but always managed to carry them off. What other
car could ever look good in Avocado, FFS?
A couple of years ago I made a mistake when ordering paint and
have a 5litre can of 'CCA' instead of 'ACC' (Mexico Brown). I'm
trying to pluck up the courage to use it on the current project.
Trouble is ... 'CCA' is Paprika:

Just when I thought the lust for one of these was out of my
system the fire gets relit, had two of these in my small car
repertoire and loved every moment, would jump at the chance of
another, as stated before gray, red interor, wires and full sun
roof would tick the boxes.
P.S. love the strip speedo!.

I'm more of a P5 fan personally, but I do like a nice P6 V8S.
Paprika looks a nice colour. I reckon it would suit a 109 Fire
engine...

I've a pair of straight 5" wide steel rims for a P6 sitting in
the "soon to be weighed-in" pile. Any use to you P6 fans?
Glen.
