One of my friends I've known since school had a 998 Metro in that BL mustardy yellow colour with brown interior. He got it for his 17th birthday for free from a family friend, but it needed £750 of work to get it through the MOT. I think £500 was welding.
After he passed his test he peeled off the L plates and found that even in his short ownership the paint had faded to leave perfect darker squares where the plates were. Except the paint hadn't actually faded that much. The glue from the learner plates had dissolved the shit paint and rusted the doors.

that's Howard Racing Brown!!! if I had my way, it would be mustard, with EVERYTHING else black.

Isn't there an old Jasper Carrot routine where he tells the story of typical BL Management problems/supply chain mismanagement/couldn't care less attitude meant that one week when the Marina production line was on 'Mustard' all the interiors delivered were blue.
The workers, reasonable, objections were overruled, and the line never stopped.
Who knows what the Dealers told prospective customers?

A friend of mine has a Lotus Europa in a sort of mustard colour. It's very 70s British Leyland kind of colour - it takes no effort at all to imagine an Allegro in that colour, probably with a brown interior. We refer to it as 'mango beige'.
