Where do all the Damson 75s live
Ever since I first saw a Damson 75 in non metallic paint I have thought it the most gorgeous colour. There used to be one that parked a few streets away from me, I have only seen one other since, are they rare or just not many in my neck of the woods. I see lots of later cars in metallic red but never a one in that lovely deep maroon of the earlier cars.

Damson was a colour that I never liked when the cars were new, but I think a well-kept car in that colour looks very striking. Metallics were traditionally far more desirable, hence they sold better.

My Y reg 2001 75 CDT classic saloon was in Damson Red - I ordered it in that colour from new, as I thought it looked great, and was quite rare. It reminded me of classic 1960s Rover P5s that I think were made in a very similar colour, with beige/biscuit coloured trim. The car is still alive, and residing in Stanford-le-Hope in Essex - my sister-in-law runs around in it now.

There are two Damson Tourers in my neck of the woods. One is mine and the other I have only seen on the road and never "met"
Mine....

There is a Contemporary SE saloon with Meteors I see parked in Crewe town centre early some mornings. A rare car at the best of times, moreso in Damson Red.

There's one knocking around Oswestry and its absolutely hanging .When new i bet it looked stunning but it now looks horrendous with all its battle scars.
A crying shame to let a great car end up this way. johnny

I have a facelift 75 Tourer in Damson, which I have owned for 5 years. Not a colour I would have chosen, but it has grown on me. I bought it simply because I wanted a diesel automatic Tourer, and it was the only one I found in 4 months of hunting!
I am surprised that the colour was continued for so long, given its comparative unpopularity (only 1650 in 6 years). |
