C70 Colours

[The Saint]

What colours were the C70 coupe made in?
The colour I'm after is this one (which I think is called venetian or maybe even caalpyso red)

I've also seen black, blue, burgundy, saffron "gay gold", grey and silver. Did they ever do a bright red one? I've been sent a link to a 1999 coupe in bright red, and I've never seen one in this colour before.

Red is a difficult colour to manage and to re-sell IMHO.
You can get C70s in many shades. Top one I believe is Garnett Red.

Best colours long term are Black, Blue, Dark Green and Silver

Top piccy is Garnet Red (pearl)

Mines is that colour and IMHO stands out well

Thanks Liddo - as you have one, that seems fairly conclusive.

Anyone have any links to the original C70 brochure, with colour options by any chance?

It is known as Garnett red despite it being called something else on the tin. And we also have a garnet red of the 70 variety!
