Very funny....

I wonder if silver bodyshells were flatted and used for monogram cars in Mirage, hence the V5 saying silver ?

I've always thought that Silver cars were just waiting for their colour coat!

My Skin Isn't That Thick

Some trends I've never understood, like flared trousers in the early 1970's and the trend for red cars in the 1980's. More recently the trends for non-coloured cars (black, white and silver/grey). Still, at least it's not as bad as the one for silver electrical goods and household appliances.

People who were prepared to pay good money to buy a Monogram, or Duotone from new are to be applauded for their individuality and (in most cases) good taste, because most of them do look good. Having said that, I think it could be argued that driving any 75 / ZT shows considerable taste and / or individuality.
