Green is one of the oldest car colors after of black, gray and white. Darker shades of green are relatively low-key and have managed to outlive all sorts of trends over the past couple of decades, but lighter hues that are more eye-catching have come and gone.

The 131 is absolute 1970s groovyness!
MGB, but christ, not rubber bumper. I actually prefer just about any British car in green
I like green, having had a Chrysler Alpine GLS in a lighter metallic green, a Suzuki Vitara in metallic green which was the only colour available to me at its launch (I had one of the first registered) and of course my own Land Rover http://mud4fun.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/seat_box_refurb_pt4-4.jpg, the first Land Rovers rumoured to have been painted green simply because there was stacks of cockpit green paint left over after the war.
Is your Land Rover still wearing its original color? That’s a pretty attractive shade of green!
Thanks Ronan, the original colour was actually Bronze green which seems to have been more popular (as you say in your post above, the lighter shades went out of fashion). I’ve just repainted mine in this custom mixed colour which is meant to represent cockpit green. To be honest it is an acquired taste, a bit like marmite. Some people like it but most don’t! My 21yr old daughter thinks it is far too bright and she prefers the darker shades on Land Rovers. It will certainly stand out in a supermarket car park though 😉
For what it’s worth I quite like it, it’s low-key, it looks stock and it works well on an older Land Rover.
Thanks Ronan,
I must admit I was a little nervous when I first painted it that colour as it was very bright and ‘different’ but now that I’ve fitted all the cappings, lights etc back on they have taken the harshness off the colour and I’m now very pleased with it. It will look even better once I have a nice sand coloured tilt fitted.

In the late seventies the FX4 Taxi was available in the MGB colour ‘Brooklands Green’
