The only proper colour for a Jag is BRG, and nothing but.

Gack!

BRG for MGs & Triumphs, sure -- but a Jag should be red or orange.
Fire
engine red or pumpkin orange, not some goofy pastel weirdness,
either.

A red Jag?
What are you, colour-blind?

Red and orange are colours for the wide boys parading their Ferraris
and
Lamborghinis down Rodeo Drive, not for cars of class, distinction and
taste.

Jag has no color code for anything approaching orange. You have Phoenix
red, my car's color, which is a very brilliant arterial blood red which
IMO
is really only suited to the XK8/R series and then there is Carnival
red,
a
very deep burgundy metallic which looks smashing on an XJ8/R.


"Smashing" ... what a good idea.
Hammer or steam press?



How does that saying go?

"Let me judge no man until I have driven his car for a week."

Something like that.
