l had never laid eyes on a "Phantom Grey Mark 2 Metallic" XU-1 until the recent Nationals at Penrith and must say it looked stunning, easily the nicest colour there on the day behnd the Lime Green Metallic car. One SMP was also in attendance and was interesting for shock value but my eyes kept being drawn back to the Phantom Grey car, it just looked so right on an XU-1.

l am curious as to how rare this colour is and what other colours rank up there in terms of rareness and desirability? Does anybody have any stats on this or didnt Holden keep any records at all?

Whats your favourite XU-1 colour?

Cheers

Mondie, Did a Mod tell you off for having a Ford in you Avatar?

I reckon Lime Green Metallic looks pretty good...

Nah, one of the Qld boys wanted the 4 eyed babe back. The mods aren't that shallow!

It's not the rarest colour but my fave would have to be Orchid Metallic.

I am also a big fan of Chateu Mauve.

Linamint is probably my favourite LC colour Rory, in fact there were some really nice LC colours that never made it to LJ.

Some good colours on the lc's such as plumdinger,lina mint but that burgundy(?) lc gtr was a nice colour.That tasmanian car was nice though.

Warigul black would be the rarest I think for lj but that BVR car was interesting to see.

I don't know if I have seen a black one. Have you got a picture of one? And what does BVR stand for?
And I would also agree that the grey XU1 looks bloody awesome.
