Brown.
It’s a pretty seventies colour. The 70’s are good, nylon shirts, big colours,
disco music; it’s surprising to me that more aspects of this period of time
haven’t made a resurgence. At present we seem to be in a micro eighties
revival, and to petrolheads, that means white cars. The white paintwork that
once proudly adorned Carlson Mercedes’, Lamborghini Countach’s and Escort
XR3i’s is now prolific, not only on Audi’s 2011 Goodwood stand, but also on the
driveways and motorways of the United Kingdom. Surely now its time for
something new, and I think brown is the answer. As always there’s a
trendsetter, and the first modern car that I can recall launching in brown
(that’s not a fact, just my memory!) came back in 2007.
