what colour would enhance it do you think? I've never liked the gold myself, can go for silver like my old 45 but I like the darker greys personally. I'm not a V8 person either so don't know what colours they were available in.
After #026, so just the real series production cars available to the general public, the other 861 cars made were in one of these colours:

XPower Grey, Typhoon, Mirage, Le Mans Green, Starlight Silver,
British Racing Green, Solar Red, Anthracite, Chagall, Trophy Blue,
Raven Black, Royal Blue, Copperleaf Red, Odyssey,
Celestial, Spectre, Nightshade, Lagoon, Damson Red,
Midnight Blue, Black Olive, Biomorphic , Shot Silk, Chatsworth,
Dover White, Pearl Black, Garnet, Firefrost Red, Saffron,
Aubergine, Nocturne, Aquamarine (Goodwood), Bitter Sweet, Dark Fantasy,
Poseidon, Twilight, Atmosphere, Mica (Ignition) Blue, Moonshine,
Aurora, Caledonian, Ski Blue, Platinum Gold, Gulf Stream, Moody Blue,
Rio Red.

Don't think I missed any? Some were just for Rovers, some just MG's. Some are very rare, with just one or two cars made, like Saffron and Rio Red.
I believe that example(s) of all those colours still exist, either in 75 V8 or ZT(-T) form.
