Default How nice does this look?

Copperleaf is definitely up there in my top five favourite colours.........I'd have one like this in a heartbeat

Remembering that this car is a Mk1, I'm afraid on this occasion you will have to be content to be disappointed Maninder.

Actually I quite like Platinum Gold too if I'm honest

Have to agree Marinabrian, But then I am a little prejudiced.

When I bought my 75 I knew nothing about the cars and was totally unaware of the wide range of colours they were produced in. As much as I like Wedgewood Blue I have to confess that the first time I saw a highly polished Copperleaf example gleaming in the sunshine there was a moment when I wished mine was that colour.

It's a lovely deep colour...second only to Firefox Red

Seriously, Rover seem to have a plethora of really beautiful colour combinations! I would love a Wedgewood Blue! Whilst I like my Firefrost on the outside, black oak interior is utterly uninspiring. I'm trying to muster up the courage to change it over to walnut wood...

Firefrost is a great colour. MarinaBrians, and another I saw today in Guisborough, at the Cemetery Roundabout at lunchtime heading towards Skelton.

I do love my Copperleaf too.

Mine is looking a bit long in the tooth, but still very photogenic (From a distance) When all cleaned it is by far the very best colour from the range in my opinion.

I totally agree, it doesnt matter how much you polish a wedgie, it just never looks as stunning as the copperleaf or firefrost versions!!

The best colour ZT I ever owned was Ignition blue. (Mica). Only seen 1 R75 in that colour.
