Interesting - my understanding from the time was that more of the red GTs were sold than the green ones, but green seems to be the prevailing colour for the survivors...

No, it wasn't you guys Sylvia - I'd have recognised you!

Interesting David, but yes there does seem to be more green GT's about, especially going by the last mini meet!

All down to the f word - FASHION ! (To me it just means I can't buy what I want cos no-one else wants it)

When the GTs were new red was more popular, now everyone prefers green so the red ones are more likely to be broken. We waited ages for a green one to come up but got there in the end.

I feel like it when I go into a shop for something I want in a particular colour and get told O, no, that's not in fashion so we don't stock it.... Maybe I'm just too picky. Anyway, love them in green, love the colour of your car Rachel, and love my white one.

:lol: - sounds very familiar; it's Lee's favourite bug-bear too!

On the colour question, having had the red Celeb for 6 years I am really pleased I ended up with the green GT.

I'm the same with clothes shopping. Can't believe people buy half the stuff in high street shops!! As for colours of 480's (so we stay on topic!) I love them all - particularly smart in white as it shows up all its features really well, but black or storm grey for me ( I am biased) :lol: ;)

Your storm grey is certainly lovely Rachel...

Looking forward to seeing everyone's cars again soon! :D

It was possibly me as I live near Reading and always use a 480 as my daily drive. The car in question is a Turbo in dark green with Vesa wheels so could have been mistaken for a GT.

What’s the last few digits of your number plate (if you don’t mind me asking) I didn’t remember them but forgotten now but will recognise if someone told me - they were quite memorable - but not quite enough for me it seems!!!

The registration number ends in NUG, if that jogs your memory!

Well I’m glad that’s sorted out.
Hopefully I will be able to get to the next meet, I missed the last one as I was away on holiday.

Just thought you’d like to know you were spotted again by someone on the classic car spotted FaceBook Page!
