Wonder what's the most common Volvo colour? Perhaps we can find out.

In my book that's covered by Brown - if I were to bring every shade and metallic/non-metallic etc. I'd be still typing

I chose it for my first S60 as my budget was tight and it was either £250 for black stone or about the same for folding wing mirrors - so went for the latter.

It's quite rare - I later discovered one of the only other midnight blue S60s in the North East was a T5 belonging to Northumbria Police...wondered why no-one ever overtook me on the A1..

Current car is Black Sapphire.
