Would you buy a car thats not the right colour just cos its cheap?

Yes black is rather loverly, but i reckon there will be less chance of finding one in april or may though!

16k round a gently track with an instructor in the passenger seat and fully maintained

OR

16K being threashed by an idiot down broken back roads?

Its the same in caterham circles most folk avoid the ex racers like the plague but you end up with a low milage faultlessly maintained car.

Krypton Green is my fav colour

As the guy from evo said - if your going to drive a silly car, get it in a silly colour

End of the day an Exige (esp. a JJ loud one) is NEVER going to be subtle so you may as well get it in a loud colour.

You may limit the number of people who'd buy your car but hopefully it wouldnt affect your resale market too much.

End of the day but who gives a toss about that anyway - it looks f'ing sexy

Go for it.... there isn't as many Kryptons about as say Blacks so you could find it actually helps resale values should that day ever come....

There is always going to be someone wanting a Krypton one at some point I reckon...

I know I wouldn't say no! .... but then.... I rarely do!
