I have one and think its quite a nice colour, not my top of the list for 75 colours, but it works on a tourer (in my opinion)

We all have our preferences and where I don't prefer something, I keep my own council so as not to offend.

Now who's going to paint a 75 in shocking PINK.

I'm sure they would have Pimpmyride as a user name.

Quite right! or platinum gold for that matter.

Moonstone Green - Alan Jay has one and last year I did a video of his car which is on the tube and has been viewed 327 times because of the colour. I like it

And also being ridiculed because it is a cowley 75.

I don't think that the comment about the sills was ridiculing them, if you read it again!

Have to say that the black sills on the Cowley cars aren't to my taste either and if I ever bought one, the 1st job would be to get them painted!

That said, I fully understand owners of Cowley cars, that keep them original!

Why did they paint the sill on the Cowley cars black?

It does look like they have repaired sills and someone has got out the under seal on a Sunday afternoon.

To match the black bumper strips.

I have Platinum Gold too I was just fishing for reassurance.
I'm also severely colour sight deficient and am never sure about how my car looks sometimes amazing, sometimes a bit dated in the colour to me at least.
I quite like the idea of pink with a FAB1 reg it would look cool perhaps white walls too & front and rear guns in the bumpers.

Well I had a moonstone diesel a few years back and loved the colour. SWMBO wanted a Moonstone this time but as I was looking for quality over colour I ended up with white gold, which I quite like too.

One man's meat and all that..
