Indeed my current car is Gold!

Although saying that I did only get choose it as it was better spec'd than similarly priced more conventionally coloured examples, so coice of colour could potentially cause problems, although Im pretty sure the 3 listed in the survey would not suffer, as opposed to more out there options like the Terra Bronze (closest to my Gold colour!).

Be careful if you want to use it as a taxi in Manchester - white will be OK, but will the silver be the correct silver

Surely resale wont be a major issue as the vehicle cost will be written off over 5 years or so , so any better price you obtain when selling would be taxed??
