Default Is Green the new blue?

When I first started lurking around a lot of the Cobras where blue with Silver or white stripes. (Still may favourite)

Now every second car I see on the street or for sale is Green (Dark).

Is it just me?

I think I've settled on the very common Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes so this is good news.

Some people just have better taste than others.

Personally, I like the green...

But then I like the blue...
and the red, both sunset and bright fire engine...
Then there's Silver...
and there's black...

Hardest part building a Cobra - Choosing the colour!

Hey Gav, you can also add now that they dig "Hard Tops". Plenty of innuendo in that statement.

Gregg (saving for soft top)
