That's metallic orange & not signature orange, I think?

Either's good for me.

Stupid plastic cars ought to be in stupid plastic colours.

It's actually a solid yellow which used to be called solar, so it has an orange hue. Either way, it's really nice in the plastic.

Cracking car and very British. Even has a 'handbuilt in Hethel plaque' which has the chief dudes signature on it

Oh yes; sitting indoors now, I can see it's orangey-yellow.

Ought to shift pretty well, even at only 3K RPM.

It gets up to 3k far too quickly

Really is a great car and only attracted positive attention at the moment. An etype owner came chatting and we got the thumbs up multiple times on the way home.
