electric blue the worst colour?

[bigpoppa81]

Whilst doing my daily searches on autotrader and mini cherished for a cooper S under 10k and under 40k miles im always coming across them in electric blue, then followed by dark grey. Is there a reason for this? the colours i want the car in chili red and indi blue are all in the top end of the budget.

Is elec blue and dark grey 'colours' that are not holding their value?

Hi
I do not know the date range but for quite a while these colors were reserved for the Cooper S only.
Guess a lot of people would have chosen these for that reason and of course the factory spec cars were were nearly always relesed in this livery.
TBH I liked the dark gray but chose red to avoid the stereotyping so they will be about if you look around.

WTF!!! I have and electric blue MCS so how dare you!!!!!!!! HAHAHA

Out of all the colours I chose EB to stand out from the crowd...my 2nd choice was DS!

Dark grey I really like, especially if the arches are colour coded too, it can look really nice.

Sorry to all the electric Blue owners out there but I dont dig it as a colour for myself perosnally... which is fair enough as you could well hate chilli red for example which happens to be my current prefrence

Still miss black II tho

DS was the only colour for me at the time. Apologies for all the owners, but I didn't like EB.

Think my next one will be CR though!

They were, as already stated, exclusive colours, so they're very common on the S.

But Electric Blue is one of the best colours they ever did.

Leccy Blue is lovely! And if the one below had White Stripes, that was what my ideal MINI was when the S was first launched Then I met a Chili Red one

Theres one round the corner from me with aerokit always sparkling.

On the way to work i always see a Red R53 S up until a couple of months ago. Then on Friday saw it again now with aerokit, Works kit and R95s, just like the 1 in the Works broucher. I would love a CR S. or trying to find my CR Cooper and buying it back again to use everyday.
