(I'd happily take any of those, my grandad had a brand new Mk1 estate in '73 but it was sky blue)

my father had one of the saloons but the reverse -hearing aid beige with chocolate vinyl roof. Grew his moustache like a Mexican for the full Sweeney look. He will be 87 this week!

My MkIII Cortina was bright orange (well the bits that weren’t rusty were).

So was my first Mini, which was also my first car - BL orange but built in the Senefe factory in Belgium in 1977, by the time it had arrived in the UK a few years later it had gained some Innocenti interior parts and trim. The black vinyl roof was peeling off around the guttering and rust was apparent in every body panel but I loved it.
