I bought the first Z I saw. Naughty I know, although I only paid £2k cash for it.
What
2K for a Z :shock: Wow! I thought I had dropped on a bargain paying 18K for mine :crazy:
I test drove 2 before I got mine. Tbh, I reeaally had to try hard to control myself and not just buy the first one I saw. It was a silver 156 sport & I was amazed by it. I really wanted a MkII 200 GT though, which was the next one I drove, but it was a bit clunky & not the best condition.
We decided we wanted a white one, so drove all the way down to the midlands and bought a Moroccan Red :eusa-think:
The black arches, Nav pack, vision pack, black pack all just blew me away. So pleased we got the Red, it’s much easier to maintain a deep shine on darker cars.
As for the op’s question, the silver does suit the Z, having seen them at meets & having driven them in my early search.
It is true though that colour is almost always purely a personal preference. I don’t think there is a bad “stock” colour for the Z, but having a Moroccan Red, it is now my favourite colour for a Z.
Black ones can look awesome, depending on Wheel colour & arches, but they are high maintenance to look really good all the time.
White is still one of my favourites, but it is hard to show off the lines of the Z to best effect with that colour.
It really is an impossible question to answer, it’s kind of like asking what colour should I paint my lounge?
I think you should check out a few cars, if one comes up that seems to fit your requirements, take a decision on whatever colour that car is. If it’s not exactly what you want, keep looking, there will always be another car.
I did trade in a car which paid the other £6500, but we'll gloss over that.
