• 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'.

  • 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?
