R plate saloon on M4 heading East in mornings

Post by cxprestigeauto » Fri Mar 28, 2014 8:46 am

Couple of times I have spotted a Mandarin Red R plate saloon heading East along the M4.

Looks like a proper commuter car at about 70/80mph!

Spotted at the A34 junction (13) at around 08:00-08:15.

Hi Rob,
If it was an 'R' reg. it would not have been Mandarin Red as that Colour was only available on the Mk1's, when the MK2's came out the nearest/similar colour was Magenta which was lighter shade of Red and the later Mk2 was an even lighter shade of Red than the Magenta, more like a Crimson Colour (Sorry I don't know the official colour for it) !
