BRG with white roof.

Old English or blue sells well. Not many people 'dislike' them colours

[VicSkimmr]

You'll limit your potential buyers pool with black because a lot of people won't want to deal with the hassle of owning a black car.

I personally like any color that is subtle and not often seen, but I think either red or BRG would be your best bet for resale.

anything a bit italian job would sell well.. anything looks remotely like a cooper etc !!

Blue, Red, Green, white roof.. take your pick!

[Trail of Dead]

Honestly OP this is all down to personal preference here. None of us are experts on market trends. Some say BRG, some say Black (me), some say Red so on and so forth. I simply said Black as it really is a desirable color, cheap to spray, and really not that hard to maintain. Maybe I'm speaking for myself and anyone I have ever met from back home.....when the question was asked "What color Car?" the most popular answer was "Black".

Again though, OP I think your going to have to make your own choice on this one, maybe call an insurance company and ask what color car they insure the most?

*White shows dirt worse than Black.....I drove a 1994 Chevy Silverado that was White for 5 years and it showed dirt, pollen and whatnot very easily. So suffice to say I can't stand white roofs*

Old english white ! a real classic colour

Not that i'm biased or anything

[VicSkimmr]

Maybe black wouldn't be such a bad choice for a car like this since you'll really only have enthusiasts looking at it. Black is easily the most adaptable color at least, it can be either aggressive or classy depending on wheel choice and accents.

You'll regret getting her in black... Any dimple in the body work and any slight scratch shows up very easily.

I struggle to keep dads T4 clean too.

[CobraV8]

I think Orange and Black is the most popular.... I am not biased

[shedonwheels]

Thanks

To be honest, I just need to make the car desirable.. "none personal"

Im thinking black, with standard archs, white wellers, and a black and blue interior (blue roll cage, seat belts etc)

I think it'd look nice in a colour of the correct era-something inoffensive though such as surf blue/teal blue or old english white. You need to keep the interior classic, it's a seventies mini isn't it? Just my opinion but a blue roll cage, or really any roll cage, would put me off. Goodluck with the land rovers!
