Is that a HLS acclaim? Didn't those things have twin carbs?

We need more beige cars on the road. None of this 20 varieties of grey you get these days (Audi I'm looking at you..) A chap I used to work with had a mint 1984 beige Toyota Crown..... odd car to lust after, but I wanted that thing so bad :)

Too right. Here's a pic of one of my other cars, a hearing aid beige miniMetro. BL officially called it Champagne! I love these old colours. Bit slower than the 360 this, but just as much fun :lol:

Can't say I've ever seen a 300 in beige though. Gold with beige interior yes.

From memory that beige 'B' plater was at the Becketts Farm gathering just after Christmas.

I had a beige 340 3 door about ten years ago - C79VEA. It still exists on the DVLA computer but not taxed since March 2003.

No Volvo 340 at present.

Forget the Beige! It's all about the Poo Brown!

Mmmmmm...miniMetro. Lovely thing, want one muchly, AP 4-speed in a 1.3 for under a ton with some test and decent bottles would be suitable. :D
Acclaim? Pah! Nowt wrong with the Honda Ballade apart from the badge that one's borrowing from a proper car. :wink:
Hondamatic versions with the hotshifting semi-auto FTW!

Coolest of all the beige things has to be that 240 though but. I had a GLE that colour, well when I say that colour, it was Dulux but near enough. Proper job mind, nobody could feel the brush marks on it. :oops:

Pooh brown you say? Yeah, works for me:

Metro Owners Club forum is the only other one I go on, but it could be that a piccie of my car has been posted on MacDroitwich at some point. Someone posted a pic of it on autoshite last year from the Peterborough BL day, fame at last!!

Clove Brown is the poo colour on that Allegro, another great BL shade.

And that B reg 340 looks very good in beige, must be a rare one.
