Can anyone please advise on what the origainal factory options were on RS exterior colours?

Thanks

I thought there was no choice, just ivory. No doubt I shall now be corrected!

they were available in loads of colours

I have the full list in my RS book, which I don't have handy.

Are you interested in any colour in particular?

light yellow was the most popular

Tangerine is 'Blut Orange' and Gulf Orange is slightly paler.

You should get a copy of the Carrera RS book, or try and see the colours in the metal because they do get corrupted in photographs.

Eynsham Hall is only 10 days away.
