Trophy blue most popular colour for ZT's, especially Mk1's I would say.

I must post some photos of "AG 05 ROV" - Looks really cool in a sort of sad way. Thumbnail shot in poor light conditions attached below.

Andy I too have a ski blue Dec '04 but an auto. I had 'Chips Away' do some remedial work to a scuff on the side/rear apron, when I purchased it last June, on an incredibly bright day. Now it is obviously a different shade (wedgewood) I suspect and is driving me mad. Ski blue is rare and oft confused I 've learnt. I'd like to do it myself, but lack the courage at present, so beware the people who muck things up, even with a paint code.

I should add it's a most pleasing colour though.

My ZT-T+ is an 05 model in Rio Red, which I believe was only available on facelifted cars. Have only seen one other in Rio Red and that is based about 2 miles from me (also a ZT-T!). Rio red seems undistinguishable from Solar Red, so will try to park next to a Solar Red car at the next Club meet to compare.

Do the official records still exist for the number of cars built in each colour?

Silver must be pretty rare hardly ever see any, although nude (no paint) seems pretty common

Arden green is quite rare,,Here is a picture of a scrap Arden green Connoisseur SE, I took some parts from this 75 Before it was scrapped.

Tom Collins · 28th March 2007, 16:29

What was so bad with it that it had to be scrapped? Doesn't look too bad.
BTW. Is that where my new tool kit used to live?

Duotone · 28th March 2007, 16:32

And just to show how rare.. Here is a picture of an Arden green Club 1.8 Auto I owned in 2000.
Another Arden Green 75 is presently owned by one of our members S J Taylor 1999 who was at the Haynes meet..

Yes collit this was where your tool kit came from,,
The nearside was scraped from the front wing to the rear bumper.,.
It would have meant two doors and two wings. the owner said it just was not worth repairing.
The only good thing is that i got 4 door handle finishers..a rear sunblind and various other bit and pieces which I sold on to club members..
