safron pearl, black or silver looks best to me on the c70 although metalic colours always look cool too. :cool:

Blue is also nice ;)

I think it's going to be Saffron or Black.

But don't forget silver ;)

I'd go for blue. Correction. I DID go for blue. Had black and cant keep clean. Silver looks great but rarer than rocking horse poo where I'm from and everyone seems to have a safron around here. Did see "chanpagne" last week but not my cup of tea I'm afriad.

Is this it?

I thought having moved up from the 850 mob I'd introduce myself to a better class of people :bow_kneel

Only to find a perthetic Thread as to which colour is best. Well if that how it is up here in the heady hights of C70 T5 dom. Then I'm afraid I'll have to go back to slumbing it with the 850 bods :biggrin: :biggrin:

I would choose black or silver.

If it is black, then high power silver rims, with chrom edge.

If silver then chrome edge rims with anthracite middle.

Yay, there we are.

Forgot how my wheels looked. Hope to get them back soon.

I am getting them redone, with polished rim edge and high silver centres.

We shall see how they will turn out.

Black is nice - when it's just been washed & polished. Otherwise mine looks grubby easily if left for more than a week.

Well i gotta say Black, using Aftershocks as an example it was mint and looked sexi as F**k! Do like the silver too though.

Got to be Sapphire Black (I would say that :biggrin: ) for the convertible and Saffron for the Coupe.

Black is a b*gger to keep clean but looks fantastic when all polished up.

One of my future projects is to find a decent replacement black grill - make the front a little more agrressive looking.

I saw a cabrio the other day in a weird sort of silver/gold finish, seemed to be a pearlescent colour but really suited the cabrio, no idea what its called!

Tangodelta thanks for that! Black is a git to keep clean though, car got washed at least twice a week and even did it sometimes on my lunch break at work if was decent weather just to keep on top of it!

Obviously they didn't make a yellow one, as they knew it would never sell. It's good to see Pedro was an advocate for Saffron way back then.:D

I do like the what I think is called Cassis? but I prefer Saffy, at least they never made it in that common Olive Green. ;)

Or GUL, they seemed to have missed out the 2 best colours, or was that because these were "INFERIOR cars" to quote another member....:troutslap

it wasn't actually done by Volvo, Volvo commissioned the design company (can't remember who it was. Pinnfarini, Bertone etc) to design & get the roof working. Volvo's plans were then to take the jigs/panels & make it themselves, but the design company were expecting to be contracted to make all the production cars so wouldn't hand anything over. The delay tactics obviously worked & Volvo missed the boat with it

White C70s always look good, particularly with Tritons.
