Am I alone with that only Cowley built colour?

You are not alone.

Here is other Atlantic Blue beauty,1999 Connoisseur SE CDT.
Very nice colour when clean and polished.

My Tourers are Wedgewood and Royal Blue.

My first 75, Starlight Silver.
My current CTD1 Copperleaf.

I did really like my silver 75, but, Copperleaf is a really nice colour, and it's convinced me darker colours look better.

P.S. MarinaBrian had no influence on this . Honest !!

BRG. British racing green, metallic.

As Brian says, the darker colours with the chrome trim look magnificent when properly cleaned and polished.

Both my 75 and ZT are in Brian’s favourite colour, XPG (or Tempest grey as it was called on the Rover) I love it and properly polished shows off the lines and chrome of both the tourer and saloon. I’ll get my coat now.............

Ill start it off i have two Copperleaf red tourers

The Contemporary SE Mk2 saloon and tourer are both X-power/Tempest grey - probably because I like LEF a lot!
