Post 1st Ever Scooby You Bought

What colour did you pick & why?
70% of 1st time Ferrari buyers purchase RED .... I wonder what percentage 1st time Scooby buyers bought BLUE?

I bought a MY97 Catalunya, black Mica, very rare colour in the Uk, on a (at the time) very rare car. Next was a Green MY99, again because everyone else was buying Silver or DBM. When I saw too many green cars I bought a 22B...still only ever seen one other one on the road

Yeah Mine was WR Mica Blue with Gold alloys.
I think I was inspired to go for that colour because of the rally cars.

I'll second that

I bought a black UK MY94, which was so rare that less than a year after I got it, the dealer phoned me because someone was so desparate to get hold of an early black car that they were willing to pay silly money

They paid me £1000 over book price (and it was fairly high mileage), and took £1500 off an MY97 they had. They also put spoilers and 17" wheels on it

Now I have a V5 type-r.....

WR Blue

FWIW when I 1st started wanting one the classics looked best in silver, when the bugs came out I really liked the Mica Red, and I was definately gonna get a Mica Black blobeye until I saw a black and a blue side by side at the dealers and the blue just sang out in the sunshine. Would still consider a black next, but probably a wagon.

The Scooby I have now is the first scooby I owned. I have owned lots of cars, Nissan 200sx, Bmw 320 coupe, Golf vr6, Civic VTI to name a few but I will definitely be buying another scoob. The most fun car I have ever owned. Saving for the 22b. (not told the wife yet)

Not sure of the Official colour but it was reddy brown.


Didn't choose the colour as I wasn't bothered what colour it was .
